Hello All...
This is my first post and really need some help... First off my tractor has a Hercules IX engine that was rebuilt not long ago; I guess thats the good news. The engine is equipped
with a Wico XH 1113 magneto, that was recently rebuilt.
Now here is the bad part, the magneto and drive coupling were removed the engine turned over etc. I need to install the drive and magneto from scratch. When I rotate the engine to the top dead center for #1 cylinder and locate the top dead center mark or the spark mark on the flywheel visually through the inspection hole on the bell housing I cannot see any timing mark on the cam gear I have cleaned it well, there just isn't one! The magneto and drive gear were not removed by me.
I have a Hercules service manual but it just isn't clear how to install the magneto from scratch.
PLEASE help me I must be only 20 minutes from starting this new baby!
I am including my direct email address just leaving off the dot com so you can contact me that way a little quicker it is spooge285
Thanks In advance
Larry
