My JD 70 gas didn't like to start. Decided to freshen things up and replaced the entire ignition system: plugs, wires, coil, cap, rotor, points, condensor. Set static timing to about 10 ATDC.
For the first time ever, it starts immediately with the choke full on. Idles perfectly. But when I attempt to throttle up, the ignition starts cutting out as if the key switch was intermittently flipped off. Just before it dies, it fires again. Soon as it tries to rev up, it cuts out. Put my inductive timing light on left plug wire, and held the trigger. Flashes consistently at idle as expected. After revved up, the ignition goes out and usually doesn't resume unti the engine RPM is faded down to idle.
Any thoughts?
Thank you
