Hi! I have a problem with a Cub, and I hope you all can help. First off, the original coil has been replaced by an aftermarket coil, now bolted to the underside of the top cover. The tractor quite running after a long spell of not running good, and I was brought into the picture (the tractor belongs to my grandpa) I have fire at the coil, tested by running the coil wire to the block and cranking it. But, I have no juice to the spark plug wires. A local mechanic insists that its the points, but I thought that if the points were bad, you would not have juice from the coil. Juice to the distibutor, but none leaving the distibutor. I think its the cap,rotor, or something along those lines, anyone have any suggestions?

Look at the cap and rotor carefully. The rotor should have a metal piece on the top that contacts a "button" on the inside center of the distributor cap. The "button" will wear out over time. A quick fix is to just bend the metal tab upwards so it has better contact as long as the cap is in good shape.

I encountered this problem while mowing with my Cub. It just sputtered and quit like it was out of gas. I ended up replacing the cap and finished mowing the lawn.

I agree with you if coil is firing points are working. If spark through through coil wire is strong this only leaves cap, rotor or plug wires and it is unlikely all of the plug wires went bad at same time.

Have you tested the wire that runs from the coil to the distributor ? Use a test light and put it on the connection at the distributor ( from the coil) make sure that the ignition is on if the test light , lights up it your problem lies in either your cap rotor or points,or condensor if the test light does not light up, the wire from your coil to the distributor is grounding out on the distributor casing.

Replace the cap & rotor. Then re-check the timing.

With all due respect, I think the mechanic has suggested a good place to start.
