Hi Everyone, I'm having problems with my Ford 3000 tractor staying running after it heats up (about 20 mins). It dies off like its not getting spark or gas (runs exactly like you I ran out of gas). I'm thinking either coil or vapor lock. Our gas just changed to the kind where they add alcohol to make it cleaner for the summer so that may be it as well. Anyway I have a coil on its way and I was going to replace the points. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or things to watch for when replacing them. I only have the users manual not the service manual so I'm flying blind. If anyone has a manual and could post the steps I'd apprecaite it. Thanks, Sam
