Scotty, don"t worry about insulting my mechanical genius. I haven"t got any. I appreciate the assistance (I thank everybody who has posted on this). Yes, I replaced the drive as well as the camshaft timing gear and governor.
The timing marks were evident on all but the new governor. I used the old governor to mark where the mag. drive slot was when when in register, and got the new one just about exactly where the old one was aligned.
The first time I tried to start it, I got nothing, and then took the magneto off and turned it 180, after which I was able to get initial start-up.
I use only a hand crank -- the generator has been gone for over 20 years. She doesn"t start with the choke on. I turn the crank until gas drips out from the bottom of the carb., then turn the choke off. Then, after one or two cranks, she"ll fire up for a several revolutions. Working the choke doesn"t help. There"s really not enough time to experiment around when it kick off, but the governor (which I originally suspected of maybe shutting it down), doesn"t effect it. I disconnected the link and it still shut down after firing up. I have to repeat the process of choking gas into the carb. to get it to fire up again.
I admit that I didn"t know whether the TDC was either the compression or exhaust stroke when I meshed the drive and cam gears. It seems that they could only be meshed at the timing marks in one possible position, so I figured I couldn"t go wrong.
Would it be possible to have the timing wrong if I"m sure the timing marks of drive and cam gears were in proper register? Could it start at all for half a second or so, sounding like a good firing succession for several revolutions if it was somehow 180 out in timing?

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and
