I posted here a bit over a week ago. Was having problems getting the starter to turn over. I"m working with a 6 volt front mount distributor 8N engine in a 9N. Single post generator. After cleaning all the terminals and connections, replacing the battery cables and ignition switch, I was able to get the starter to spin the engine. But no spark. I have replaced the spark plugs,coil, points and condenser and the generator cut out relay. Gapped points at .015. Made sure condenser lead was not shorting out on the housing when I put the lead through the housing. Turned over and checked for spark by placing spark plug on top of engine block. None. I have 6 volts reading to the top terminal of the of the coil. Other than that, I do not know where or what readings to take to trace the circuit. If you can be of assistance, please be very specific as to where to place multimeter leads etc, as I really do not know where else to check or how. Nor what I am looking for. Just know that I"d like to have it running again. This tractor was working fine and just quit while sending hay up the elevator hooked up to the PTO.
