Well got Dad's 2N all back together, with the rebuilt carb on it. And had a very intermittent fire.
At first I thought it was the carb rebuild, so I took it back apart and check everything in it, all seemed to be working well.
Checked for spark, and had an intermittent spark issue. Since we drove the tractor in the barn I didn't think it would be the distributor, but we had a miss before, and I had bought new points to put in it, so I pulled the distributor...
Here is what I found.
There was no stud for the Coil Spring, just a wire curled up in its place, and it was touching the housing. And the last person to put points in it, didn't put the cotter pin in place, so the points were misaligned as well.
I'm thinking that I need a new breaker plate, but would like to get some suggestions as well, not to mention when I tried to remove the condenser the screw twisted off in the housing..., so that has to be drilled and easy out to remove it.
Suggestions?
