If I could get current TO the distributer, I could check things out. It has a separate key switch and starter button. Starter does not work with the key off, both starter switch and key switch appear to be ok. They both worked before I disassembled the tractor, they are not corroded or anything else that should cause them not to work. The key switch makes the starter button "live", unlike the letter series on which you can activate the starter with the switch on or off. A very hot spark gets to the coil, the current, for whatever reason, will not go through it, the coil is good, at least it works fine on my M. I suspect the ballast resistor, but I have removed it with the same results. I may not be supposed to run it that way, but bypassing the resistor should still allow current through the coil? I do need a volt meter, I have a fairly new one that has never worked right. As stated in my original post, I can get a small spark from the (-) coil wire, nothing thru the main coil to distributer cap wire. Isn't current supposed to flow through the coil wire when it is disconnected from the distributer cap??
