Hello first time trying to get this 1950 Ferguson TO-20 tractor
running in 6 years it?s still the original 6V positive ground. Got
new battery, new coil(was told 12V coil will work), new plug
wires, new distributor cap. I can?t seem to get any spark, I
took an electrical tester and I have power on both sides of the
coil, and from the positive terminal on the coil to the distributor
housing. Still no spark, so I tried taking a wire from the battery
to the negative end of the coil. Still no spark, taking the wire
from the coil that goes into the distributor cap and holding that
to the engine block while cranking there isn?t a spark. Taking
the cover and rotor off and seeing the points and condenser
which appears to have been replaced. I can spark between
the points by taking a screw driver and arcing between them.
But I still have no spark!!! Does anyone have a idea why this
would be, thanks in advance.
