I removed my flywheel from the hub before I realized that was the wrong way to remove the flywheel. Is there a quick way to know which spot it goes back in without installing it in each spot and checking for spark? Such as, is there a reference to the keyway of the hub and magnet on the flywheel?
Thanks

Look carefully for rust / stain marks on the hub and flexplate.-----Usually an easy way to put it together.

Pull the top spark plug and rotate the flywheel hub to bring the top piston to approximately TDC (top dead center), it doesn't need to be perfect. Locate the timing marks on the flywheel and place them near the timing pointer. Then position the flywheel lining up with the closest holes in the hub.
