could be dirty points too. here is my down and dirty, check it in the field cause i broke down method. pull distrib cap and dust cover off to access points. pull coil wire, and either use another spark plug or take one from the engine. use the spark plug wire, put one end in the coil, hook up the plug to the other end and lay it agains the motor so the plug is grounded and you can see the gap. put tractor in neutral to be safe. turn the ignition on, and use a small screwdriver to open and close the points, see if plug sparks. you may need to roll the motor over till the points close, and then open them a few times with the screwdriver, if nothing, use the screwdriver to open the point arm and then ground it to the distributor body. if it sparks, you need to clean the points. if not, check the wire from distrib to coil, sometimes they short out where it goes into the distrib. , then change condenser, if still no go, change the coil.
