Ok, I think it's the timing. I took the key off the crank and readjusted the flywheel.  It started then died out. What is the correct degree should the flywheel be set to at tdc

I think you might be looking at it wrong, these flywheels aren't adjustable...... Factory timing should run the engine even with a cylinder and crank. You need to check for air leaks.
