I have my wires ran just like DickL,My rotor rotates CCW.When I took my mag off I kept the #1 plug and wire in the cap.I put the sparkplug ontop of the metal part of the mag.Then I turned the back of the mag until the plug sparked,nice and strong by the way,then I stopped with the mag and went to the engine.I took all the plugs out and had my dad crank it over while I plugged #1 cylinder with my finger.When I felt compression I went around to the other side and started cleaning the flywheel with gas and a paint brush through the hole on the torque tube.I saw the "fire" mark and went past until I saw the "Center" mark,and stopped when it was at the center of the hole. The mag and the engine matched up real nice.Put it all back together,pulled it around...nothing.I have good spark on all four,good gas flow to the carb.Spark plugs come out wet after pulling. Another problem,maybe,is my mag has distinctive numbers on the cap starting with #1at 2 O'clock #2at5 O'clock #3at7 O'clock and #4at11 O'clock.Does everybody have those numbers? What am I doing wrong?I will try anything.Troy in Wa.

After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
