Steve - I read through the thread below. A couple thoughts...

----

You CERTAIN your SA is on 6 volts? The only way I know a coil can overheat is when a 6 volt coil is used on a 12 volt system without a ballast resistor in series.

Unless there's a partial short or something inside the coil it's virtually impossible to overheat a 6 volt coil on 6 volts!

Before you begin diagnosing the engine "woofing", dark exhaust, etc. install a fresh set of plugs! The soot on the plugs in there now now will cause all manner of misfiring and other odd behavior. Suggest also replacing them with the hotter Champion D-21 - or the AC or Autolite equivalents. (The D-16 would be OK if the tractor is in good tune and is worked hard. But when the engine is only lightly loaded - and with the lousy quality gas we get now - the D-16 has a tendency to carbon foul very quickly.)

Good luck and keep us posted!
