I have a 48 farmall h that has been notoriously hard to start for about 5 years now. I retimed the mag today and she would puff smoke through the carb. Thought to myself, thats 180 degrees out of time, so I looked at the cap...Hmmmmm. the wires were on the cap with #1 cylinder being toards the bell housing. Perfectly backwards. Put the wires in the cap right with #1 being toards the radiator. I pulled the crank twice and she fired right off and ran like a pup. That means that the mag was 180 off and the wires were on backwards and the engine ran that way for 5 years. Tractor ran great but was always a bugger to start. Now it starts perfectly. How I managed to goof it up that bad and still have it run I will never know. Anyone ever hear of anything like it??
