I am looking for help getting my rebuilt 1941 John Deere B running properly (or at all now!). I bought a rebuilt magneto in 2010 but never got the tractor running very well so I rebuilt the carburetor. No difference. Still running rough, backfires, one cylinder only, etc. Carb has gas, float level is good, but now NO spark at all.
The tractor has been in a dry shed for the last few years and the new magneto is still new, never been wet or anything but seems to produce no spark either on the tractor or on the bench. Points gap is .015 as specified, it is a Wico X.
I've about had it with magnetos! Does anyone know what is wrong?
Does the "rebuilt distributor" #1111558 from this company convert these tractors to coil and points ignition?
Thanks so much,
Dave
