The sensor should be lined up with the crank at 35 deg BTDC on #1 = rotor.  TDC is when the flywheel end counterweight is positioned = at=20 9:00. 
How do I = determine if=20 it is at 9:00 with rotor #1. Doesn't the flywheel make 2 revs per one = rotor=20 rev?
Cold in = OKee land, air=20 temp is just now at 62, highest in 2 days so engine is probably around = 50=20 degrees. Have the cold start switch on.

I don't think the procedure you mentioned below is correct.  = Not=20 sure where the engine would be in your procedure but it is 90=20 degrees from TDC in one direction or the other.
