I recently installed an electronic ignition kit which I purchased from Genesee Products on my 1949 TEA-20 Ferguson. Now I can't get a spark at the plugs when the engine is turning. I do get a spark when I turn off the ignition switch, which tells me that the coil is charged and the cap and rotor are in good shape (brand new). I've converted the electrics to 12 volt negative ground with no trouble. The points were working before I converted to electronic. The tractor ran well. I was tired of cleaning and gapping because I have a front loader installed and reaching the distributor is a task in itself. Let me say that this is the second kit I've installed because I sent the first one back thinking it was defective. Same problem. Andy at Genesee is probably the most patient and helpful person on this earth. I've corresponded through email at least 10 times and on the phone and he's been most helpful. This problem seems to be beyond the scope of normal experience or logic. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
NCtim p.s. no jokes about Lucas electronics. I've had 11 British Leyland sports cars and I do know why they drink their beer warm.
