Finding top dead center piston # 1. My 1940 Model A has a sheet metal pointer attached to the flywheel cover instead of the cast pointer. My flywheel also has an arrow on it . the question is does the arrow have to be in line with the sheet metal pointer at 6"0 clock or before the pointer to be top dead center?
2nd question. My tractor was converted to a 12 volt system by impervious owner. When attempting to start the tractor it is (arcing) where the push rod slides through the support bracket. I also notice sparks underneath the saddle mount.
The starter was just repaired by a reputable repair shop in my area. no issues testing the starter on the bench. However once saddle mount installed and starter installed i had these issues.
Any help would be appreciated on these 2 questions.
