This tractor has always had a stiff area when starting in one area.Has to have a good battery to crank a complete revolution. Mag. was set on #3 {4 o'clock] instead or #1 and this is how it ran when I got it.Am in process of restoring and have everything off from behind motor to back of tractor.[tank,steering & seat]. Today took all spark plugs out and jacked up rear wheel to match up #1 piston with mag click. Timing advanced 1" past second pully mark.Got mag set only to second mark, but when rolling tire around I still hit this real hard place . Same problem as when starting with battery. What could this resistance be? Trans. and rearend not causing this because with clutch in and cranking with battery ,it did the same. Tractor also has orgional mag. with cable switch and you can rock rotor quarter inch. Rotor does not fit slot in mag shaft. New one does same thing. slot not walowed out. Tried to give all info, sorry for so long. I do need help. Thanks, Buck
