Timing adjustment...93 850 (update 2) 850 1993

With the marks still lined up right, I tried to start it. Now it's acting weird, almost like it's slower, or something.

It won't start, and just tries to turn over.

I spun it by hand again, and the marks still line up. There was a weird rubbing sound for one rotation, but went away after I finished turning the motor over. And did not return any of the other times I turned it.

Although I don't think it was the case, I did check the battery, and it was registering just a hair under 12.4, which is just a hair low.
