Massey Harris Pony Timing

Larry999 · Oct 13, 2011

I bought a Massey Harris Pony that was not running. The guy I had bought it from had tried to get it running. I found he had the spark plug wires crossed and the gas line was stopped up. I did get it running, but it is not right. It does not have enough power to pull itself. I think the timing may be off. I looked for the timing mark on the fly wheel but could not find it. Is the mark deep and easy to find or is it a shallow line that can be hard to see? Is it located close to pressure plate bolt hole or some other reference mark?

I'll bet the valves need adjusting

Or the carb needs cleaning/adjusting/repair. They are very fussy about slack around the throttle shaft. And be sure there is a good seal between the two halves of the carb.
