this works for me----- remove #2-3-and 4 spark plugs. When compression is felt remove #1 plug. Continue up with crank until pin in front of crankshaft is horizontal, this places DC on flywheel in view. Deactivate inpulse coupling (this is not an absolute must but will make it easier to time). Mag points should have been set at .013. One point to remember is the impulse coupling "does not retard timing" on the E4A or F4 Mag. This is done externaly with manual lever. The mag should be timed in retarded position. Always work the tractor in full advanced position just as the mags with automatic inpulse -- H4 ect. Otherwise tends to overheat. . For safety use the proper starting procedures-----!
