I have a IH mag on a Regular that jumps a thin blue spark 3/16" sometimes, 1/8" dependably, is this about right for one of these girls. I had the mag apart, replaced the bad armature with an armature from another IH mag, cleaned up the commutator and points and had the magnet charged. I can get the tractor to half-heartedly pop a few times but that's about it. I can choke it enough to get gas to run out of the carb so that end of the deal seems to be working, but when I pull a plug it doesn't seem wet. What are some of the characteristics to look for on one of these old girls? I'm not real proficient at working on that goofy carburetor it has but it's clean and seems to get gas to the manifold. The compression is plenty good when I crank it as my aching arm will attest. LOL Jim
