Good day all you wise people!
I have a FM X4B16A magneto and need to know:


1) The firing sequence is usually 1-3-4-2 in a clockwise direction, as viewed from the machine's control panel end. Is this also the case for the FM X4B16A which turns Anti-clockwise?
2) Turning the magneto, it gives a click, releasing the pulse, then one turns it 180 degrees before it start building up pressure for another pulse. There are no indication on the attachments to the engine where to attach
it. How does one determine where to attach it to the engine. Having it wrong will have the sequence out 180 degrees!
3) Do anyone know where to get manuals for the FM X4B16A magneto?
4) Any worth-while instruments such as magneto timers that can help
with the fine tuning to the engine?

Thanks

Jim
