I have ford 601 (6 volt) that had been running well until recently. It began cranking slowly but ran well then wouldn't crank. It turned out the starter brushes were very worn and the armature needed to be replaced. I had the starter rebuilt and it cranks well now but wont start. When I crank it with a spark plug wire close to any of the plugs I don't see any spark. I replaced the coil without effect. The points, plugs and wires are about two years old. Any trouble shooting tips would be appreciated.

Points are inexpensive I'd replace them as well. On my 2000 (63) I swore it was'nt the points turned out to be the points after going through everything.

Check for 6volts at the coil. Check for reverse polarity (+) is ground on the 6V.

Got it started yesterday after replacing the points and condensor. I suspect it was the condensor because the points didn't look bad but and the gap checked out OK. In any event, it started first try.

Thanks,

Vince
