Any ideas why? It is in no book. But runs fine.
First, that firing order is in every book, you are just reading it backwards. Your rotor turns counterclockwise, so your order is 1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8.

Second, if it runs fine, it's not 180 degrees off. It doesn't make any difference where you have the #1 post, as long as that is where the rotor points when the #1 piston is at TDC on the compression stroke, and the firing order is correct on the cap.

Don't complicate it. It's really very simple.

Take care,
ÅChris
