kh, if the points are sparking, that tells me the coils low voltage primary (between lil + and - terminals) is continuous and theres voltage on the coils high supply (NOT to distributor) terminal i.e. the ignition switch circuit is supplying voltage to the coil at least. Next thing to do is to try and clean the contact points using a point file, but replace if they are badly burned or pitted or heavy carbon coated, check the gap, and then see if the coil is firing high voltage. To do that remove the coil wire from the distributor leaving coil end intact and place that bare end to within 1/8 inch from the head or block. Then with the ignition on and voltage to the coil each time the points are closed but then open (manually or by cranking engine over) a spark should jump that coil wire end to frame. If the coil wire fires but not the plugs, I suspect a cap or rotor or plug or plug wire problem, but you gotta at least get the coil to fire before the cap n rotor n wires etc can do their job. Burned or gray oxide coated or carboned up or mis gapped points are the elading cause of non firing. To see if a shorted condensor may be the problem REMOVE IT (at least its wire to the points) and see if she fires then??? If so it may be bad/shorted.

This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
