again you have not said if it is a 2 cyl. engine but from the 1944
date it must be, These engines, if equipped with magneto ignition,
as most were, actually delivered an impulse every half revolution
and will run, if poorly, when timed from the wrong side. Due to
the plug wires being adjacent and not quite a full rotation apart
if improperly set one cylinder will be fireing late or early.
neither condition will generate a smooth and full power delivery.
At least from my experience with 2 cyl. J D engines on Mod A, B
and GP farm tractors. These Engines had a timing mark on the
crankcase casting and the flywheels were marked for left hand
impulse and left hand exhaust. The flywheel was on the left side
of the crosswise mounted engine.<br>
