I am with john, sounds like the impulse ont he mag may be "gummy". For real cold situations, IH manual calls for kerosene as the lube on the older F series tractors. I always use what amounts to SAE 10 oil in distributors, generators, and mags.

IH also indicates cream separator oil, which is essentially mineral oil.

I have often wondered whether powdered graphite might be the way to go on impulse couplers...........I have never tried it, but I know that powered graphite is called for on other similar situations where oil would attract dirt and dust... just a thought.
