Well the first message disappeared so here's #2.

I had my NAA worked on and tuned up after I couldn't get it to run this last year. But it's acting up again.

I'm unable to contact the gentleman that worked on it. I originally bought the tractor from his family's dealership (now closed) in 1983.

I've used it a few times since we got it running again but it started dying on me while I was using it. I got it started again but it didn't last for long. A check showed that there is no spark at the sparkplug.

The following was replaced this last summer. Spark plugs, coil, distributor cap rotor and condensor and voltage regulator.

If anyone has any ideas what I can check and how to check it, I'ld really appreciate your help.

I do have a meter if that will help me.

Thanks in advance.

Best,
Andy Keeney

No spark? Follow the volts. get a test lamp or preferably.. a VOM.. follow power from batter to / thru coil primary and thru points/ground.

If that pans out.. look at secondary side for short/faults.

SOMEWHERE there is a fault.

Clean or replace the points. Also check the point gap. Last summer is a long time for parts by the way. But I'll almost bet your points need to be cleaned regapped or replaced

I appreciate the response but I meant the last 5 months. It was probably late spring/early summer 2007 that the work was done.

I really don"t think that"s the problem but I"ll definately look at them and clean them. I never had a problem of this sort in over 20 years and then all of a sudden, it"s so unreliable. I had installed new points and the guy changed them out for better quality points just in case.

If anyone else has any ideas. I"ld appreciate their thoughts.

Best, Andy Keeney

Hello, Something you may not be aware of is good points are hard to find today. Alot of them today have cheep contacts that corrode when the tractors sits and it runs poor if it starts at all. They do not clean up with a file well like the old ones did. Good points will last 20 years under intermittant use. You're friend may have unintentionally done you a diservice by changing the points if he put in poor ones. Regards -ed

Could also be your ignition switch is going bad and when they do they cause all sorts of funny problems. Or you could also have a fuel flow problem
