Hi,
I have an 1963 IH 340 utility gas that I'm having what I think is ignition problems. It was originally a 6 volt positive ground system but had an (old) 12 volt battery on it when I purchased it. The generator which appeared to be a 6 volt went out (literally burned up) probably a result of the 12 volt battery. I replaced the generator, voltage regulator, coil, points, dist cap, condensor, and put a new 6 volt battery on it. The tractor has good spark but will not start. It seems like it's out of time. I set the point gap and dist timing with the service manual and think it should at least be close enough to make the tractor run. Is there something else that might have been changed by the previous owner in an attempt to use the 12 volt battery? Any other ideas? I've checked most of the wiring with the service manual and it appears to be wired like the original 6 volt system. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Micah
