Hi all,
My super m has an electric ignition, and is 12 volt. When the kit was installed the tractor was running well, but after sitting a couple days the points would require filing and resetting before she would start. When it ran it was strong and started right up. Now with the electric ignition it is smoking really black and back firing a lot. It blew the rain cap off, and sometimes it will stall and then run backwards blowing gray smoke out the air cleaner. So I checked the wires and they were on the cap wrong, so I put them how they should be 1,3,4,2. I then realized that the rotor does not point at #1 when the timing mark is lined up on the crank pulley. There's only one mark on the crank pulley, and I need to make sure that it's on the compression stroke but it's obvious someone took it off and timed it incorrectly. Am I going in the right steps here? I'll try to attach a picture of the crank pulley and mark.
