Super A success: magneto starting problems

Just wanted to finally post an update on my SA starting problems of a couple weeks ago. It's running! Basically, the timing was way off. The rotor was at 7 o'clock, and I couldn't get it to "click" at 1 o'clock. (I could do everything but locate the line on the flywheel - could not find it even after painstakingly scrubbing the heck out of it with Kroil. A bit too rusty, that and my eyes aren't what they used to be, I guess.) So my neighbor, someone who it turns out has quite a bit of experience with magnetos and Farmalls, just rerouts the sparkplug wires, starting with the #3 wire at the #1 plug, and it roars to life! Now, after a year as a new farmer on the new farm, I hope I'm set: 3 SA's, one with hillers and cultivators, one with the two-disk turning plow, and the last with the planter/fertilizer set-up, and I'm ready to have a go at putting in the fall veg. crops.
Thanks again to all who've helped this beginner..
Best regards,
Bill in west-central Alabama

Sounds like you may have had No4 piston at TDC on the compression stroke instead of No1 piston. Hal
