Let's be careful here.

One out of every two rotations, the lobes will be down and both valves will be open. This is normal. Rotate the engine 360 degrees and the lobes will be up and the valves will be closed.

The question is whether the camshaft is in time with the IP. Does the #1 cylinder get fuel on the proper compression stroke and not on the exhaust stroke.

You'll probably need to remove the delivery valve and spring from #1 and see if it delivers fuel on the compression stroke (as determined by the current cam position).
