In Reply to: Timing the WICO mag/dist posted by Doug on February 19, 1998 at 08:01:39:
: I am having timing problems with a Wico distributor on an IXB Hercules. It is the same distributor
: uded on IH, AC, and others. It is not a true mag, though it looks like one. It is simply a coil and
: points set in a mag housing with distributor cap. My book has very limited details, but I followed them
: exactly. I have good spark, but just pops from exhaust. Also need to confirm firing order is
: 1-2-4-3. Any help greatly appreciated!
To check the firing order open up whatever you have to to see the valves. Crank the engine and watch the
sequence of the intake or exhaust valves and that will be your firing order. Good luck, Mike
