I have a 172 cubic inch Ford engine on a brush chipper. It has no spark. I look at the points and they are tarnished. I shine them up and re-install with a .025 gap and the engine is running. I run the engine till it warms up, maybe 30 minutes. Shut off engine to change oil. Try to restart and no spark. Shine points again and install new condenser, still no spark. I check voltage at coil, 11.75 volts coming to coil and 11.75 volts going to distributor.
Anybody have any suggestions? Am I not seeing something? I had the same problem last summer I fooled around with points and condensers and it started working until this spring. I can't honestly tell you what I did to make it start working last summer.
