Propeller Position Hummel 45

On the Hummel 45 what should the propeller position be in relation to top dead center? I have replaced my prop with a GSC 58x22 and I'm getting pretty good shaking. Right now I have it at the 10:00 - 4:00. I've seen posts on other sites which were probably for a 4-cylinder (counter clockwise rotation I assume) and they recommend the 2:00 - 8:00 position for hand propping. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

The prop is at 10 and 4 at the
start
of the compression stroke. Top dead center is a mark on the prop hub when aligned with the seam of the split case.

Thanks Charles. I've reset my prop, but I'm still getting some shaking. I have the wings off right now and was just wondering if I have them on do you think it will dampen the shaking? I do have front starter on it as well.

No, the wings won't change the engine vibration. Check the carburator slides to make sure they are synchronized, (open and closed the same amount)
then adjust idle screws
. I am assuming your Hummel 45 came with duel Mikuni carbs.
