If working on a 152FMH engine, try to locate the specific manufacturer's documentation for your exact model and year. Most major manufacturers (Loncin, Lifan) have technical support resources online. Always cross-reference information from multiple sources and use genuine parts when possible.
The "IN" mark stamped on the piston crown must face the intake valve (top). Torque Specifications
Remove the plug, ground the threads against the engine block, and crank the engine. If spark appears, the ignition system is healthy.

Unlike cars that have a spin-on filter, the 152FMH uses a centrifugal oil filter rotor inside the right crankcase cover. The service manual dedicates an entire page to cleaning this rotor. If you don't clean the hardened sludge out of this rotor every 5,000 km, oil flow stops, and the camshaft welds itself to the head.
Use a multimeter to verify AC voltage output from the stator's Black/Red wire during cranking. It should read at least 30-50V AC. Engine Starts but Bogs Down or Dies
