It's a real mystery. The B Farmall has always started on the first (hand) crank after one crank with choke, ran well, no fuel obstructions, clear exhaust, good timing and pulled well, basically the tractor did everything I asked of it. Now after setting one week there is no start. There is only 3 years on a complete restoration. I know there is compression and fuel, but what could cause a lack of spark without any warning or symptoms of a problem? Assuming it is no spark.

Coil or condensor, if you have no spark, possibly points, but that should not happen all at once. Make sure you have fuel flow, your sediment bowl inlet could be plugged.

It has the H4 mag. May have to try the condenser. It is not fuel flow.. full choke will cause the carb to drip the excess until it reaches normal bowl level. For a while I thought the mag ground switch had stuck, but still looks okay (it has the old cable and "S" pull knob).

you can unhook the wire at the mag if you think it could be the switch.It will still spark. I would try the condenser first I think. Let me know if you need anything with a other post I deal in H4 mags JON

I am asuming its a mag I would say its moisture or the condenser. JON

Jon, could be the condenser. Never sees moisture and is shedded all the time when not in use. The cap was clean and dry, no carbon tracks either.
