From your description, the coil may be the problem, and possibly the condensor (often overlooked), but it definitely sounds as though you're running really rich. I suspect your coil is probably OK based upon you being able to get spark, but still not being able to get it to start. I wouldn't worry about it possibly being wired backwards.

Not sure on your 240U, but the main jet screw on the carb. on most of that era tractor was at its bottom front. While you've got it running, try screwing it in until the engine starts to miss, then back out maybe half a turn.

Another thing to check is fuel flow to the carb. Should get a good flow where the line attaches to the carb. Also, there is probably an inline filter which is part of the inlet to the carb which may be plugged. Another thing to check is whether the vent on the gas tank is plugged, occasionally people have problems like you're describing from pulling a vacuum on the tank.

Good luck.
