Ignition trouble. Tractor starts, runs about 30-45 seconds, then spits, skips, sputters and dies. Complete master overhaul of carb,(TSX810 with power and idle adjustment), new float set to 1/4" per rebuild specs, no apparent fuel problem, full fuel flow from tank all the way to carb, any adjustments to fuel mix or manipulation of choke will make no difference. Point gap good (.020), plug gap good (.025), new plugs(auto lite 216), wires, cap, rotor, points and condenser. Will not restart until 5-10 minutes later. The ignition switch resistor started smoking while it was running. 12V POS ground, with generator. It still has the original coil, swapped to a standard 12V external resistor required coil from Autozone, no change. Visible spark is weak and sporadic at the plugs and strong at the points. Also a good wiring diagram would be great. Any testing/trouble shooting tips, ohms/voltage checks, would be great.
