Hi, I installed pertronix ignition in my 640 tractor and it ran
great for a bit but then it died and will not start. It will only pop
back through the air cleaner. Also, it is a 12 volt system and
before it died the ammeter always showed discharge but it
was actually charging. After it died the ammeter now shows
charge when the key is turned on. There is an arcing noise in
the distributor when I turn the key to the off position now as
well. I also confirmed that timing is correct.
