I have had to file new points to get a spark on my 600. They can get an oxide coating on them which will prevent spark from occiring.

Looks like you have checked everything pretty well, but one more thing to check would be that little insulator where the wire comes out the side of the dist body to the coil. There is a metal strip that connects the points to the stud and I've seen this strip get pushed against the dist body and short out. Also, there is a little insulator inside the dist body that the head of the stud seats against. I've seen these look pretty good, but still leak current. Also good to clean everything up real good, as dirt can cause a short, also.

Didn't forget to put the rotor back in did you?

When you say "checked", did you adjust the points?

I'm sure you did, but just in case....Did you set the point gap with the rubbing block on the high point of the cam? Did you replace the condenser? If so, new condenser could be bad, causing very weak spark.....Stan

There is a small piece of metal which fits between the distributor and the rotor which commonly falls out and gets lost when the rotor is removed. If you do not have it, you will see spark at the coil but not at the plugs. If you lost it, you would be the millionth person to do so.

Good catch. Completely forgot about it. Got the same motor, and it will not run without it. Your New Holland has it, but $5 for a little tiny piece.
