the setup is free to try though, spin it over by hand to verify top n bottom timin marks line up. then warm the engine and hold revs at 2.25k with blue sender off, check the big flywheel diamond lines up with the arrow on gearbox casing :)

spanner/socket on the cam sprocket bolt, take the spark plugs out 1st and it will spin over easy.

ah but was the timing done properly, digifant is picky about how you do it. quite a few garages are ignorant of this and just set it up like they do old carby/k-jet cars.  which doesnt work.
