Bud. Most timing light have three cords. Two are connected to the battery. The 3rd either clips around the #1 plug wire or is connected in series between the #1 plug wire and the #1 plug. Timing the WC. You are going to need a seperate 12 volt source (battery) - most current timing lights are 12 volts. Hook the timing light to the battery and the #1 plug wire. Timing marks. The "F" fire, timing mark, is on the back side of the flywheel. Using the hand crank, turn the engine until the bolt holding the pulley to the front of the crankshaft is in the 11:00 o'clock position. This should put the "F" mark in the center of the inspection opening (under the bellhousing) bottom of the tractor. Clean off the "F" mark with a wire brush then take a piece of chalk and rub the F. - This is your aiming mark. Start the tractor. Squeeze the trigger of the timing light. The light flashes when the #1 cylinder fires. Aim the timing light at the "F" mark on the back side of the flywheel. The tractor is in time when, at fast idle, the "F" is centered in the inspection opening. Bud, I hope this helps. This is one of those jobs that takes less time to do then to explain how to do it.
