H Magneto/Timing Problem

Havng a little problem getting my H to run.
1st off I had to replace the wire between the condenser and the Points because it had shorted through the insulation.
2nd I tried to time the tractor according to the IT manual section 182. The problem is the magneto trips as soon as #1 comes TDC.
I have gotten the motor to "run" for a few seconds but it sounded like it was firing on only one cylinder. Tried to swap plug wires but all I get is white smoke or back fires/flames in the exhaust.

What am I doing wrong? Sorry for the long post and Thanks for the help.

You set #1 on TDC, then retard the mag by putting the coil (top) against the block. Pull it out until the impulse trips. Rotor turns clockwise viewed from the rear. Attach the wires to the plugs in the order of:
2 1
4 3
