Now I am really stumped about my no start A - HELP

Posted by Joseph P on May 29, 2002 at 10:48:29 from (199.131.159.125):

I put on the three manifold bolts that were missing. Gas flow is fine to the carb.

Last night I had spark and arc.

Today, I removed oil from ther points, gave them a light touch up with 1500 grit paper.

DOUBLE and quadruple checked the wiring from cap to plugs.

Checked current flow to points with test light.

It doesn't start.

I get lighmeter reading at the points and to the lead wire to the magneto.

But I get no spark at the plugs now!

They don't arc like they did last night.

What am I doing wrong?

I like my old tractors but it's when this happens that I could throw them in the river. Rather than throw money at them.
