There's many more reasons than the same thing being said over and over that could cause it to backfire

You can get tdc on the compression stroke or exhaust stroke. 50/50 chance. Not everyone thinks to check which one it is on. Yes I have done it also :lol:

Right, which is why you turn it by hand and use a paper clip to see where the piston is through the plug hole, I thought this was common practice
Maybe I'm just green with that kinda stuff, but it seems simple enough if you're turning the engine and it's compressing and it's at TDC then that's where you need to be
