I think I hooked up the magneto as it was after taking the cable off for cleaning and painting. I didn't touch the inside of the magneto. The tractor ran when I got it.
Now it says in the manual, that when you want to start the engine (crank start), pull out the magneto knob to the start position. And then choke it, brakes, etc. Then fire it up. When you want to shut down, push the button in. Well, when I pull the button out and release it it snaps right back to where it was and I guess the "off" position. What am I missing here? I've attached a couple of pictures which may or may not help.
