No one has any idea? Jon

New to me, beautiful restored bike. I need help checking the timing. TDC then counterclockwise until piston drops 3mm??? Stick something round through the fly wheel into the hole stator??? I believe it has all new rev3 ignition. It has an intermittent knock like detonation. I know it could be lots of things, but this is the easiest to check. Any better kick starters??? Its short and I need to get my girl to be able to kick it over. I have 50 years wrenching on everything. Thanks Jon
