JD-1010 crawler won't start!

I have a 1010 crawler, 12volt, positive ground, gas, that seems to have had electrical charging and starting problems since I bought it. It ran well and even started occasionally without help. After a new starter, new voltage regulator, and resetting the brushes in the generator, still am having problems. As I pulled the lead off the coil 1/4" there was spark that made it kick over, so I repalaced the coil. In removing the old coil, I noticed the (-) coil pole was wired to the distributor and the (+) pole to the ignition. There was no in-line resistor. The old coil writing said "use with external resistor only".
My new coil is a 12V (internal?) resistor that I wired the (+) pole to the distributor as the wiring diagram indicates. Didn't start or pop. Reversed the wires on the coil (like previously installed) and still didn't start so I changed them back. Pulled center lead 1/4" off distibutor and got spark and a few pops but not enough to start it. Anyone have any ideas or simple tests whats wrong or what to try next?

My service manual says the distributor wire goes to the + terminal on the coil. I have 2 1010's. The 61 is positive ground (correct) and the 62 is negative ground (incorrect I believe). One was driving me crazy with sputtering intermittently. After a full tune up and carb rebuild, which it needed anyway, it still sputtered once in a while. Yesterday I noticed the fuse wire hot, very hot. I pulled the fuse holder top off to find a VERY hot hunk of metal (very rusty) in place of the fuse. After cleaning the connections and putting in a proper 20amp fuse, ignition problem, sputtering, stopped. COOL!!! This has driven me nuts for months. I checked my other 1010 and someone had put tin foil in place of the fuse. After a few curses, I replace that also. 5 fuses cost me $1.25 at Napa. Why do people do this BS? Good luck with yours.

You didn't say whether you tuned it; sparkplugs, points, condenser, dist.cap, timing set, etc.

It was working fine last time I shut it down, but thats where I was headed next - the distributor. Points, plugs, wires and cap looked fine visually though.
