I have a 48 h that I rebuilt the engine in last summer. I adjusted the timing according to the ih shop manual and set the points according to the manual too. I did not mess with anything inside the mag. Before the rebuild it started nice with the crank. Now, it is a son of a bean peeler to start by hand with the crank. It starts ok with the electric start and has PLENTY of power, but it remains hard to start by hand, especially when the motor is already warmed up. It also seems to start more easily when it is facing somewhat down hill. What the heck did I do wrong? I would welcome any suggestions.

If you mean the crank turns easy enough, but it just won't start, adjust the timing by ear -- advance or retard the timing until you get max rpm at idle. I have set those by the manual also, and the engine, although smooth, sounded like it was laboring, advancing the timing fixed the problem.

you probably did everything right its just that everything is fresh and compresion is up and will naturally crank over harder. Justin
