After about 10 minutes of hard running my IH tractor seems to start cutting out. I thought about changing the coil out. I checked the fuel and I have plenty in the tank, at the pump and at the carb.

I know that I always heard don't use a car coil on a small engine or it would burn the points up. Common sense would tell me that the Kohler coil would not have the capacity that a 4 cyl IH tractor needs.
