First time is always the hardest

I guess I should have asked what does the timing mark on the flywheel look like?
I have seen drawings on youtube but not clear
is there a notch or mark for TDC
no idea what the green paint but it must be close to TDC

may be a little late but if you look at the center tooth on crank in that green paint spot you'll see a small dimple just above that tooth. you want to center that dimple in the hole.
