[AJD] Installing Wico C Mag

[Dean VP]

LeRoy:

If the person who overhauled your magneto replaced all the worn parts it
will take a lot more force to get it to snap. 

Your Operators manual describes the whole Magneto timing procedure.

Don't recall if it was exactly horizonal when I pulled it off but that was
in the fall.  I think it was more 4 oclock position.  

So this thing will be tough to get past the firing position?

Counter clockwise is the correct direction, right?
