Hi all,
My friends fordson will only start with the cold start in even when it's warm and turns over a fare bit till she starts. She runs really well when started, no smoke and sounds well. Any ideas please
Thanks Chris

Hi Tiger, years ago we had what sounds to be the same problem with my dads major. The drive coupling was getting quite loose and noisy, assuming that the excessive wear was retarding the timing I advanced the coupling a little and the problem went away.
I have never seen a coupler that didn’t have a timing mark on it, if possible I'm sure timing it properly would be preferable.

Ok, sorry for being stupid i have been looking at timing post for over an hour now and still a little confused. So i need to turn the fly wheel around and look through the spy hole for the timing mark then the lines should then line up on the pump drive coupling. but where are the Deg. No. Markings (on the fly wheel??) and is it just adjusted by the coupling on the pump. Thanks Chris
