I am having a weak spark problem with my 300. If I take the coil wire off the cap and hold it next to the brass colored adapter where the temperature sender screws in it will make a small yellowish looking spark. I cleaned the points and they seem to be opening and closing correctly. I am thinking that this may mean that the coil or the condenser is weak. I put a new condenser in when I got the tractor running in summer 2012, in the fall it wouldn't spark and I put the old condenser in again which seemed to fix the problem. I then bought condenser and points from NAPA and put them in, the points were much better than the ebay ones I had in it but the new condenser wouldn't work and I had to again put the old one back in. Any advice as to what I should do next will be much appreciated. I wouldn't mind putting in electronic ignition if that would be better, or if there is a source for a condenser that might work that would be great to know. I can get a coil at NAPA that seems to work fine, so if that is what I need that is no problem. Thank you for taking time to read this. Zach
