Mark, I agree with Hal n Bob's good advice, only one thing to add. While its true if the mag impulses/fires/snaps BEFORE TDC that can cause kickback as the gas explosion drives the piston back down (in wrong crank direction) but its been my experience hand crankers start best just at that critical point where shes start/impulse timed as close as possible or even maybe a degree or so BEFORE TDC JUST TO WHERE SHE DONT KICK BACK. Of course, such a close critical timing location is hard to achieve and replicate consistently due to sticky impulse n wear etc. I generally set em at dead TDC and try starting several times and then with a lil hammer/adjuster etc gently adjust/tap them advanced just 1/2 hair at a time so she still starts good but, of course, if she ever kicks back then I retard them. NOTE Im NOT an IHC Mag man, however Ive found this to generally hold true for abouT any hand start tractor, i.e. set em as close to dead TDC or a hair before BUT NOT TOO ADVANCED SHE KICKS BACK.

I'm curious if others find this true???
