Mc CORMICK FARMALL 140 won't stary

Robert2003 · Jul 6, 2016

I have put a new coil and condenser in it and I though that was the problem now when I try to start it it has no spark and it just tried to clean the carb and nothing so please give me some suggestions.

How do you know you have no spark - did you pull a plug, ground it and watch for spark? If you have no spark maybe the new condenser you put in is bad - they can be like that out of the box. What do you have
for an electrical system. If its 12 volts its possible it has a resistor that has gone bad.If you have a volt meter see what you have for voltage at the coil when the switch is on.

Do you have consistent power to the coil? I just had to replace the ignition switch on my 140, was giving me fits with cutting out.
