Mornin',

The first time I saw the IH mechanic pull that "timing trick", I thought he was crazy as a loon.

Had an old tractor that was really getting hard to start in the winter. Darned thing only had something like 2300 hours on it, but it was our "feed" tractor and just had to run every day.

I stood there and watched him scribe a mark across that pump body and the mounting cover. He advanced the timing the width of that mark and the difference was like night and day.

Cost me a service call, but that one was well worth the grits, 'cause from that point on, I changed that tractor's timing every winter.

Run like shut in the springtime tho, unless I remembered to pull it back. :>)
