Okay first of all there is a few things you need to know about these type of engines. You can not adjust the timing by the disturber. And second of all you'll need to look at the cap closely because being an old school mechanic such as myself you are used to pointing the rotor at the number one cylinder and that will not work on these. Okay, First you will want to pull the number one cylinder plug (that will be on the driver side front of your engine) Have someone bump the starter while you place a finger over the spark plug hole until it blows your finger off the hole. If possible you can now look at the crank and get the mark to line up to zero. You are now in top dead center of the compression stroke. A cheat I used because they don't seem to make a tool for it is that i used an old disturber i drove the pin holding the gear on at the bottom and took the gear off. Now you can use that "tool" to align the oil pump with the number one plug. You will notice on the cap that it has a mark like point build into it. Use the old tool to align the rotor with that point. That should get you back on the road.
