I removed the magneto cap to replace the gasket. I think I have the tractor out of time now.
It is a FMJ magneto, on a 1952 WD.
How do I go about timing the magneto?

Hi Sheila,

Removing the small cover would not effect the internal timing. Removing the large cover however, could change the timing if either of the two gears were to move. The small steel gear has a dogeared tooth that must mesh in the valley between two teeth on the large fiber gear marked with a "C". The mark may be very light and hard to see. If so, carefully wipe the gear (don't use a solvent) and use a magnifying glass. For a more specific description, including a graphic, go here. For assistance in re-timing the magneto to the engine, in case you have physically removed it, click on my name and follow the appropriate link.

I broke the bottom cap of my FMJ4 Magneto. I have a new one and the gears but I can"t find an exploded view of the cap to show the correct assembly. Rod seems to have a good manual for this type of Magneto. Any help on an exploded view or section?

The comments from Ron regarding internal timing clear. What do you do if you cannot see the A or C on the fiber gear? The gear was already clean, so maybe it has already be cleaned with solvent? Any help much appreciated.
