Farmall B Spark Problem

While cultivating with my farmall B it suddenly stops running after about an hour and a half. If I wait two to three hours, it willstart right up and run for another hour or so and quit again. It has no spark when it quits. It has a magneto ignition. Can someone tell me what the most likely problem? I think it is the coil or possibly the condensor. I have removed the kill switch wire and it still has no spark. Is there any test I can perform to narrow it down? I appreciate any input.

I would check your point gap .013" and make sure they're opening and closing. If this is ok I would replace the condenser to see if that fixes the problem. Make sure the points aren't dirty or pitted.

If it doesn't, it's probably a weak coil. Hal
