Is the process for timing a magneto on a Regular the same as an H or M? Also, do you want the mag to fire at TDC or somewhere else since this tractor is crank started. Thanks

Jeff

On any mag, you want the mag to fire somewhere just after top dead center with the advance pulled all the way back just off of stop(in other words, pull the lever back until the mag grounds out, the move barely forward of this point) This will prevent kickback. After startup, the advance forward should move the firing point to after t.d.c. This gives power and allows the engine to run cooler.

If you have the original E4A mag on it, advance your timing lever all the way, take the two 1/4" bolts out of the mag coupling, with the # 1 cylinder on top dead center, and the rotor near the #1 distributer brush, turn just the magneto untill the points just open up. Look at the coupling and find the two holes the line up the best and put the bolts back in. If you have a newer F4 mag it works pretty much the same but you have to stick a wire or something in and disengage the automatic impulse.
