The tractor has a spark, but it does not run. It sputters and backfires. Anyway, the rotor is not pointing at "1" on the cap when the cylinder is at TDC. I don't know how to determine TDC of the compression stroke without taking the valve cover off. Anyway, when the piston is at the top the rotor is pointing at the 9 oclock position, when it gets to the top again, it's pointing at the 1 oclock position, but the "1" on the rotor is at 2 oclock.
Question:
1.) How do I determine TDC of the cylinder 1 of the compression stroke?
2.) I assume it doesnt really matter what the numbers are on the rotor as long as when I figure out the answer to the question above that the cylinder 1 plug wire is plugged into whatever tower the rotor is pointing at when I find TDC of compression on cyl 1. Correct???
