My Farmall H won't run. The problem started with my removing the magneto drive to replace the gasket. I ended up loosing the timing marks on the Magneto drive. I was able (By LOTS of trial and error)to get the magneto drive to where I think it belongs. The magneto clicks before the #1 terminal on the distriburor cap when the #1 cylinder is at TDC and the pully is at the first mark. My problem is that my Farmall H now won't run. We even put some gas in the cylinders, no luck so we think it must be spark. I dressed the points, replaced the cap and roter. I think it has a good spark then a weak spark, I am not sure if it is inside of the cap orin the magneto itself. It was hard for me to tell. It was necessary for me to trip the magneto a lot( Not hooked up, maybe 30 complete revolutions) so I could figure out timing it. Could I have messed it up? Also, the kill switch screw turned while hooking the wire back up, could this be the problem? Thanks!!
