If all else fails follow instructions. Cleaned and gapped the points as you told me. I spent a frustrating hour crawling under with a flashlight looking for timing marks crawling out again, nudge the crank, back under. Put thumb in plug hole and start all over again. Finally I stuck a piece of bent fence wire down the plug hole and found TDC that way. Still could not see any marks on the flywheel. I reset the rotor timing and the old girl fired on the first flip. I have had this tractor for 12 years and never had to do anything to it before. Now I understand it a little better.

Those old mags are forgiving and usually don't need a lot of work to get them to fire. The weather is harder on them than from use. I restored 5 or 6 Standardtwin garden tractors and one Viking and they had mags. All but the Viking
was never sheltered. Only had one mag I couldn't get to fire and it had lost the magnetism in its magnets. If you don't use the tractor much in the Winter I would pull the mag off and keep in a dry area. If you decide to ever pull it post back
for instructions. This is so you don't get the mag out of time. Hal
PS: Here's that mag with the dead magnets.
