My thoughts. 1. the pump you have is the very earliest model with 7mm plungers and it came off an FMD prior to 1425097. probably from about 1955ish (that would have been 29 degrees BTDC) 2.If your engine still had its original pump then it should be 23 degrees BTDC. 3.However if you fit the 7mm pump to the later engines they mostly go for 26 degrees BTDC. 4.So thats the way I would go. Set your engine to 26 and then sort the pump out as you suggested. Best Etc MTF [Reply]   [No Email]

This is very useful information,(RE. timing at 26 dgrees and trying it ) I got busy with spring work and have not had a go at the old Fordson for some time. Playing with the adjustment on the coupler helped, but it still runs rougher than the other old FSM I have, so I will try your reccomendations. I Will report back when I have done so, but am awfully tied up with farm stuff at present. Thank you again Mike!!! Richard.   [Reply]  [No Email]
