Had the same problem with my 48 Cub, the book tells you to have the engine"s #1 cylinder at TDC, and point the rotor in the mag at #1 plug tower, if you do this the engine is firing late, when the #1 piston reaches TDC, the mag should have already fired. Set the #1 piston on TDC, rotate the mag to #1 plug tower, and snap it, you may have to pull the govenor, and line it whith the groove in the mag, but I assure you it will run fine and you will have the ability to retard or advance the mag to get the timing exact but thats what you have to do.
