It worked when I put it away........

Needless to say, she would not kick over (charged battery,block heater, starting fluid and all.). No spark was the consenus. Plulled a plug and it was not soaked nor fouled. Hooked up the plug and could not see spark. WHAT GIVES?

How could I lose spark parked over the wither?

When we tried to start her at first and failed, we accidentialy left the ignition switch on for about an hour. Could this have burned a point or points?

Before fall: New: Dist cap, rotor, points and condenser and some new wires. All not installed by me. I have not checked switch. The guys did not bring a meter because we assumed everything was a go.

Gas had a full load of Stabil and it was run through the bowl and carb.

I am thinking about new plug wires.

Desperately seeking some insight,

Andy

Your mileage may vary

Remeber your high school physics. Water Vapor travels from warm environments to cool ones. So if the tractor is cold, and the air warms up, water vapor will collect on the surface of the tractor. For my 2N, that grounds out the wire on top of the coil, so no juice gets to the distributor.

I have tried silicone spray, and other waterproofing techniques, but the problem still happens once a year at least. The good part is that it only takes a couple of minutes to fix.

A hair dryer works very well drying it off. If drying the coil doesn't work, pop the coil and dry the indside of the distributor as well.

Also check to see that the wire going to the coil is bent up a little, away from the coil surface.
