Is this a points distributor
place the timing mark at the desired position before tdc compression stroke ( normally around 10 degrees )
se the points to correct gap
turn on the ignition and move the distributor body against direction of rotation until the points just open ( noise or spark across points
tighten the distributor at this position
replace cap and it will start
alight when used will show the timing to be almost at that setting
if pointless distributor
set the timing mark as described and the set the apex of the exciter at the mark on the small pickup in the distributor
That again will be the timing mark setting
if it is an efi engine
the ecm unit will determine the timing of the engine from the crank position sensor
SOURCE: starter stays engaged or blows a fuse when I try to start my skid steer
This could be the starter or the ignition switch, Take the starter out and have it tested. IF the starter tests ok, replace the ignition switch.
