I did think about the starter cranking it too fast, and worried about that during the whole process of putting it on, , but I can hear the impulse snap when I crank it with the starter. The starter in reality doesn't turn it over near as fast as one would suspect it does. It's only 1.5 kw starter so it's not very powerful.
I timed the mag and engine according to the manual that I have, but as you suggest, in my mind I have been thinking that the rotor needed to be just ahead of #1 and not directly on it like the picture in my manual shows. Seems like if it impulses when the rotor is dead on, it would be too late as the impulse would fling it right past when it should be firing. I thought it needed to fling it right before firing, so it would fire on #1, and then move quickly to #3. But I may just be thinking too hard about, and out witting myself.
After I rebuilt the tractor from the hand crank to the PTO shaft, when I put the mag on it just cranked right up, so..... I either got lucky that time, or I am just missing something easy this time that I did the last time.
