I have a 37 BR SN# 327419. Just installed a rebuilt Wico XH477 magneto that I got from Brillman. This is the first change I've made to this tractor and it's my first JD 2 cylinder. I have the I&T and JD manuals. When I went to install the rebuilt mag the slots in the governor were not oriented the way the manuals said they should be. I also noticed that the mag I got from Brillman has the tag and the stop post on the opposite side of the XH477 I took off. When I hand crank the tractor it tries to start, takes the flywheel out of my hand, but that's it. I'm also hearing a gurgling sound when I pull the flywheel through, which I think is coming from the oil bath intake. All this is making me think I have a timing problem. I want to check if the flywheel is correctly mounted on the crankshaft. I'm not finding much about this in the manuals or online. So, how do I tell if the flywheel is mounted correctly?
Thanks,
