How do you set ignition timing on a Ferguson tvo 20?

Answer 1

To set the ignition timing on a Ferguson TO 20, first ensure the engine is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke for the number one cylinder. Next, align the timing marks on the flywheel with the pointer on the timing cover. Adjust the distributor by loosening the hold-down screw and rotating it until the points just begin to open at the specified timing mark, typically around 4 to 6 degrees before TDC. Finally, tighten the distributor hold-down screw and recheck the timing to ensure it remains correct.
