Our good contributor John T below has the situation in hand, however I will add: Some magnetos have been """modified""" to use a regular coil from a distributor equipped tractor. This is OK, and works (but has poor timing control and should be replaced with a real distributor, with RPM based advance (which is not a part of original IH/McCormick Mags) The point gap of the magneto is .013" Uas a permanent marker to be absolutely sure if the position of the rotor when taking it apart to gap the points. It is gear driven and will be out of time if not put back in the exact same position. The Points are probably dirty and need attention. The condenser could also have failed. Good luck and I hope this helps. JimN
