It was suggested I think in some of of the reply posts to my message yesterday to check the distributor advance mechanism on my 135 to see if it was working properly.
To be honest when I first got her back from the shop and had all these electrical issues with my tractor, I didn't know how to check the gap on my points very well and took off the plate the points/condenser sit on and messed around with the screws.
I vaguely remember thinking what i did was stupid and tightened them up.
Would doing that be causing the misfiring?
My other question is I bought an old sears timing light at the base thrift shop. It didn't come with a manual to use it, but once you connect it, how do you actually use it?
I have a JD 1010 service manual and I think that tractor and mine both are timed the same (6o BTDC and it advances to 26o BTDC) however the Deere has a timing hole on the bell housing and on my Massey it's cast into the engine skirt with the radius rod in the way, so I can't see into the flywheel.
While I have my OEM Service Manual, conveniently it covers timing for the Perkins Gas, not the Continental Z145.
I read the articles on the left but not really having done this before I'm somewhat lost.
