Good Morning, I purchased this tractor from my uncle who is selling his farm. This tractor has been sitting in a shed for more than twenty years. I was able to loosen up the motor so it will turn over but I do not have any spark. I purchased new plugs and wires. This tractor has a coil mounted above the magneto, the coil has two samll connections and the coil wire connection that goes to the distributer cap. One of the small connections goes to the side of the magneto the other wire goes to what looks like a resistor mounted under the gas tank. My question is how can I troubleshoot the ignition system? I have a meter to check voltage but I do not know where to start? Thank you
