W30 Mag......and lever

banjoman09 · Jul 26, 2017

Thought I would post pics of my Mag and lever above the mag....don't know if it is suppose to hook up but I think it did at one time. Thanks.

There was originally a rod running from that lever to the magneto to adjust the timing, HOWEVER, the factory original mag was an IHC F4, which has been removed at some point and that Fairbanks-Morse installed.

On that I could only guess but I bet Kirk has it right. I know on a lot of the older engine there was a timing adjust thing so as to make it easier to start them with out breaking ones arm in doing so

Ahhh...that's what I was wondering.....not the original one? How costly are these things.....rebuilt? Thanks!

banjoman......."W30 Mag & lever"...made me think you were talkin'bout 30-30 carbine made by Winchester .......easily confuzed Dell

That's an American Bosch magneto, do not know how you would retard spark on that and if the spark cannot be retarded then greater care is required on cranking, as is similar in IHC H-4 magneto, fixed spark!. The original would have been with an IHC F-4 magneto

Been a longtime but I replaced the mag on my 1935 JD B and it cost me around $250 for are built one plus the old one as core. That was back in 2003 give or take a year

I have 3 hot ones on the shelf if you are interested.

banjoman09 · Jul 26, 2017

ok and thanks... I want to put the F-4 back on it...without the book - do you just unbolt and bolt back or do you have to time this thing?

banjoman09 · Jul 26, 2017

My W30 has a Fairbanks Morse mag on it and no lever to advance or retard spark and starts and run fine with it.

banjoman09 · Jul 28, 2017

okay....but if I want the lever to work I need an F-4...correct?

If your looking for a F4 mag it will look like one in pic. That's what what I have on my F20.
