I'm trying to get an Oliver Crawler running. Not sure of the year, I belive early 50s. I don't have a manual, just trying to help a friend. At first the crawler had no spark, I changed plugs, wires, condenser and cleaned the mangeto. I now have spark to all plugs but it only fires on two cylinders. I have compression and the valves open and close. I did notice some discoloration inside the distributor cap, but I have spark to all plugs? When replacing the plugs and wires I drew a diagram but I'm second guessing it now. (dose anyone know the firing order and location of #1 wire on the cap?) And then the mangeto timing, how is this procedure done? I brought #1 cylinder to TDC, lined up the timing marks on the rotor and gear, turned the rotor to #1 plug wire and reinstalled the magneto, still fires on two cylinders.....confused!!!
