Walter, I agree with Rich. It is not the "gap" so much that is burning your points, but rather it is one of two things. Either you have too much voltage, like Rich says or you have a defective condenser. People seem to think you can just change these old gals over to 12v and dump the resistor. That's fine if you only run the tractor a few hours a year. But if you plan on working it, the resistor has to be there or the problem you are experiencing shows up. That voltage across the points has to be kept as low as possible for long point life. Also, against what everyone seems to think, that condenser does not need to be replaced every time you change points....there is nothing there to wear out. As far as the circuit is concerned, it is nothing more than a tiny storage battery. When you find one that wears points in a nice long-life(d) fashion, keep it. Tryin' to help, Allan
