In a 4 cycle engine where the pistons fire 180 degrees apart the pistons are on opposite throws of the crank 180 degrees apart. Number 1 fires at or near TDC then the crank rotates 180 degrees and number 2 fires at it's TDC, then the crank rotates 540 degrees before number 1 fires again. This is known as "staccato" firing order....like John Deere 2 cylinder engines operate. Two cylinder 4 cycle engines with both pistons on the same crankshaft throw that fire on alternate 360 revolutions of the crank similar to British 2 cylinder motorcycles and the early 30-60 model E Rumely tractors are "alternate" firing 2 cylinder engines. The alternate firing engines run smoother than the staccato,firing engines, but require substantial counterweights on the crankshaft to offset the imbalance of both piston/rod assemblies being on the same single throw of the crankshaft. The trade off is the staccato firing engines usually require a larger flywheel to dampen the pulses of such an uneven firing order. The exhaust note is different.....John Deeres p-putt, huff, huff, p-putt, huff, huff, the even firing engines putt, hutf, putt, huff when idling slowly. (I think I got this right).

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
