After a couple of weeks of stress trying to get my 8n started, my tractor is running and starting every time. I almost converted it to 12v and electronic ignition with a cost of over $400 but thanks to all your help, I fixed the starting problem with a $20 coil and a new battery. I am so happy tonight that my tractor is running, I celebrated with a good cigar and bourbon. My wife is happy and I am happy. I would like to thank everybody for all the help I got on the discussion board. I was really distressed over not getting it to start. A man and a tractor that runs is a great combination. Again thanks for all your help.
