OK Grumpy I thought that it should be to the right of TDC which I have done and yep she is unusual but not as unusual as rotating anti-clockwise hahaha.
I have got my daughter to pull the cord while i hold the spark plug(was a bit nervous 1st time thought it was going to zap me like an electric fence hahaha)only thing is, is that the flywheel is rotating so fast i cant tell where it is firing in relation to the marks Ive made. If i try to spin the flywheel with my hand i'm not getting even a tickle from the plug.
so I'm starting to wonder if the coil has an intermittent failure or isn't creating enough power to create a suitably powerful spark
