Lanse, hasn't anyone described how to time that thing correctly? I am a Deere man so I wouldn't be the best person. Timing one isn't rocket science and should take less than ten minutes.

And my advice, leave the ether alone, that engine shouldn't need ether to spit. You might have to play with the throttle and choke when you are pulling it, you don't know how much slop is in the linkages so it might take some fiddling with. These old tractors aren't that hard to get running, you just need to listen to what the guys here are telling you.
