Pull the coil wire from the mag's cap and hold within 1/8-1/4" of a good ground and have someone to make an attempt to start the tractor. Be sure the kill switch is in the run position. You should have a hot blue spark when the engine is being cranked. You may want to use a pair of insulated pliers so you don't get bitten. If the spark is weak the points should be cleaned and adjusted to .013". Don't remove the mag from the tractor. You can use a point file or use 320 wet or dry that's folded over so it will clean both points. Then take a cotton swab dipped in alcohol and clean the points, do this several times. Then check for the spark again to see if there's any improvement. If it looks good reconnect coil wire to cap and try to start engine. The coil may be weak on the mag. Hal
