My shop forklift has a Y112 Continental. I had some issues with it not wanting to start, after never giving a problem in nearly 18 years, and having just been parked from use about a week before. I found low compression on two cylinders, and the valves carboned up from never really running it hard. So, I got that sorted out, and had her running again as of this past Monday night. The next evening I ran it a little bit to get it warm, and then drained the oil, since I had had it opened up cleaning, reseating, and and setting the valves.
While the oil was draining I realized I'd put the plug wires in the wrong places since the two that had straight boots wouldn't fit on the back of the engine, under the tunnel in the floor panel. So, I swapped the wires.
Got my new oil filter the next morning, got that squared away, and went to start it. It wouldn't hit a lick for anything, but did backfire a couple of times. It was right back to where it had been when it quit before.
I messed with it, off and on, for awhile, as I was disgusted with it by this time. I finally decided to start back at square one and see what I could find.
Somehow when I put the plug wires in the 'right' places so the 90 degree boots were where they needed to be, I managed to get the thing 180 degrees out of time. Man I felt like an idiot after that........ Now she purrs like a kitten.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes. This article is about my '53 Ford Jubilee and a story that starts with taking the tractor to my brother's Starter/Alternator Rebuilding shop for a wiring fix. The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
