Back first of the year I was moving one of my log
splitters with the 641. It was running fine and
all of a sudden it shut off. I figured it ran out
of gas. It was pouring rain and the tractor was
out of the way so I just left it. A couple months
later the grass was getting tall around it, and we
were in spring clean up mode, so I grabbed the gas
can and went to move it. Had plenty gas. Pulled
dist cap and cranked it over, no spark? Let it sit
an other month or so till I got a chance to work
on it. Started at the dist again, and whoa, had
spark. Started right up and purred like a kitten.
It ran fine again until last Friday, was backing
up to move the same old wood splitter, and it cut
off, no spark. What would fail intermittently like
that? Please don't say voltage regulator. Last
week I found a brand new Ford VR and thought it
went to one of Dad's old, long gone, dump trucks.
I think I threw it in the steel barrel I took to
the scrap yard Monday, Joe.
