I had the same problem. See my 9/20 response as to why you "May have spark" . If all else fails , repolace the coil.

On my '52 8N, I experienced a similar problem. After some mowing, the tractor would start missing under load & eventually die. Playing with the choke helped a little but also helped isolate my problem. My problem was fuel starvation. Rust and cooruption in the gas tank had pretty well coated the screen in the sediment bowl. I cleaned it and the tractor ran fine for a couple of days then the same old problem re-occurred. Had more crud on sediment screen. I drained gas tank and took off shutoff valve to reveal considerable additional rust, dirt & debris. I flushed tank with gas and put it all back togehter. To be safe, I disconnected the gas line from the carb and re-cleaned the inlet screen there.
Viola, so far, no more chug, chug, chugging.
Hope this helps your problem. Goof luck

Gremlin, I agree with John. I think your coil is breaking down when it heats up. Let us know what another coil does for you. G/L Cadillac Gary
