I am trying to get an old farmall M running. There are problems with the ignition and/or the starter switches - so for now I am by-passing those switches and hot wiring from the pos battery cable to the starter to just get the tractor to start.
However - I have had two coils get so hot they cracked and oil leaked out. What would cause this to happen? I am using a 12 V battery and a 12 volt coil. I have the ignition wire running from the pos battery terminal to the pos coil terminal - the condenser is connected to this same pos coil terminal. A short 14 gauge copper wire is connected from the negative coil terminal to the distributor. I have new plugs and plug wires. The tractor will start and run for maybe 5 -10 seconds and then stops - acts like it is not getting enough gas - however after about three attempts at starting the coil then gets extremely hot. Any ideas? Thanks
