MF 10 - No Spark

steve terplak · Aug 31, 2016

I have a MF 10 that has not been running since I have been in possession of it.

When I turn the key, the starter cranks, motor turns over, does not fire or attempt to fire.

I have power at the ignition coil (or at least I assume since when I put the positive lead of a multimeter on the incoming black wire, while
engaging starter it reads as having power.

The spark plug, does not have spark and, when putting the positive lead from the multimeter in the plug boot...it does not appear that power
goes to the plug.

What is the process for determining what is not working correctly?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like the points aren't firing. Check the other terminal on the coil and see if you have fire going thru the coil, if not replace the coil. Clean the points first, that's probably the problem.

Here is the Massey MF 10 6/74 Operators Manual wiring diagram.. a little late maybe!

Hi first what type of ignition system is on the engine is it a megneto with points and condenser, has it been converted to battery ignition using an automotive type coil or does it have the Tecumseh solid state SSI ignition system?
