I've got my A to run, have to pull start it, engine hardly turn over and it fires right off. I can not for the life of me get it to start by hand. It seems like I have the spark too far advanced, it kicks back sometimes awful fierce. Set it up just like the book calls for using the timing mark on the flywheel and cover, move mag until it clicks and tighten down, did not let it slip. Is there some way to use a timing light to check the timing? I've been parking it on the pool dam and letting it roll-start. Works great, but sometimes I might park it somewhere else. Ay help will be appreciated. I do have an extra torque tube from a later model B with starter that I can change out but hate to modify it.
