Good afternoon. We have a 1959 John Deere roundback 95 combine with a 217g engine. We swapped the points/condenser for a PERLUX ignition with a blaster coil. We are having issues with engine dying while operating in the field. It starts and runs fine for a few minutes, then it wants to quit. I notice that the coil is hooked direct to the 12 volt battery. I see no resistor any on the engine. We don't know if the distributor conversion was done properly. Could the coil be overheating? The combine will sputter, but when the starter engagement button is pushed, it will continue to run. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks-HAPPY GILMORE
