The Operator's manual has very detailed insructions as to how to time that engine. I don't believe you have one, or you would have followed that procedure. If it is a timing problem no one on this forum can give you better instructions than that -- explain them yes. Basically put # 1 at the top of the compression stroke. To be sure you are not a tooth off, remove the distributer. Turn the rotor so that it points to #1 on the cap, #1 should be marked on the cap--top right viewed from the rear. Install the distributer without moving the rotor. Rotate the distributer counterclockwise. Remove the coil wire from the distributer cap and hold it close to the nut on the distributer body. Rotate the distributer body clockwise until you get a spark -- it should be in time. If you can still hand crank it (crank mechanism is frozen on many due to lack of use), hold or attach the coil wire next to the nut and do one complete revolution until it sparks. Timing marks should be very close or exactly on the 1st of the double notches. If this does not work, you have other problems, anything from a loose distributer shaft to problems with the cam gear (not likely if it ran 6 months ago).

You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
