Which is Cylinder #1? Getting ready to do L&S using Reeves method after cleaning carbs.

I'm sure it is somewhere in my manual but I didn't see it.

Thanks!!

#1 is the highest one, closest to the flywheel. On a V engine they are staggered--#1 is still the top, #2 is next down,on the other side, etc.

Re: Really stupid question

some are hard to tell, the highest one, look at the spark plugs, they are not straight across from each other, one side is higher.

Got it. It's the top cylinder on the starboard side.
