Hi Y'all,
I was just doing some light scrape blade work with my 1952 Ferguson TO30, 12v, negative ground, with electronic ignition and it just quit, not sputtered at all like a fuel issue would normally do so I suspected an electrical issue. No spark to the plugs. As it was getting dark, I left it on the the woods path I was working on, looked kinda lonely walking away from the ole boy, but it was nice hearing the quail calling. Too late in the day to do any real troubleshooting , plus I did not have any tools but tomorrow I am going to make sure I have power to the coil, and then check resistance across coil. I have the NAPA 14-SB with the internal resistor and it is about 8 years old. If the coil and voltage checks out any ideas as to what might cause sudden stop. Are coils a high failure item?
Have had a lot of help from this board in the past, hope you can give me some insight now. Thanks, Rick
