First off let me say hello as a new poster, but lurker here. I have a Y69 engine off a baler I am trying to get running to power something else. I got this as a non running but free turning unit. I have done everything according to the L-head manual in my quest. I have overhauled carb,(draws good) checked Mag for spark, (zaps me) adjusted valves, set timing on gears for mag, replaced all tune up items, etc. All settings were done with #4 on TDC per manual. I have compression & suction in all cylinders, ( finger on plug hole test). Also cleaned out restricted int/exh manifold, pulled head to check & replaced gasket. I"m still not quite sure on the timing gear to mag drive gear setting. When I took this apart I found the marked teeth off by one tooth. Manual says to align the one cam gear marked tooth between the two mag gear marked teeth. Now when I crank the engine over, watching DC on flywheel, #4 fires just after TDC. I think this may be my problem as I think it should fire directly on TDC. Could this be why the cam/mag gear was originally set off a tooth?
I am tired of cranking this with no signs of life.
Could someone please offer opinions or help solve this problem.
Thanks in advance folks
