You will have to turn the engine manually with a socket/ratchet or a socket/breaker bar. Remove #1 spark plug and insert a pencil or other object that will fit into the spark plug hole to see when the piston is going down or up (being careful that the object does not get stuck between the piston and cylinder wall). Slowly rotate engine clockwise and watch the object, when the piston starts to come up, remove the object and stick in the tip of your finger to feel for pressure buildup (if you feel pressure building up, the pistom is on the power stroke towards Top Dead Center). When you feel the pressure building up, remove your finger and re-insert the object and watch until the piston reaches the top. The engine will be at Top Dead Center. Something to remember: The piston will raise twice - once on the exhaust stroke and again on the power stroke. The exhaust stroke will not build up pressure since the exhaust valve will be opened on that stroke.
