Will I had some time today to work on my Case 444 w/a Kohler 14hp ..... I get it running about 1/2 open and it runs good for awhile then it will backfire ... I check the points and the gap on the valves ... it all check out good ..
Question : as I was checking the valve gap , I used the starter to turn it over a few times ... anyway I put my hand on the coil { don't know why } and it was HOT .. you could not hang on to it , it was that hot .
Is it suppose to be hot just turning the engine over a few times ???? or is this something else I need to replace ... I'm getting a new engine one pc. at a time { kind of like Johnny Cash lol }
I appreciate any advice you share ................ mark
