That's just the thing. It was only after I redid the gap on the mag breaker points that I couldn't get it to fire up. I didn't remove anything but the distributor cap and the rotor mechanism over the breaker points to set the gap.

As to the heating and starting, I could get it to start right away the first two or three times it would do it, but I couldn't keep mowing, I could barely tow my brush hog. If I waited for about 5 minutes, then I could run the tractor long enough to get it back to the drive and park it, but no mowing. Once it started dying, then I would restart, run for a few minutes, then die again and then I couldn't drive it without it dying. I could only restart it maybe three times and get it into gear, then I had to wait about half an hour.

Like I said, I went through a lot of posts and the most likely cause I could see was the mag points or the rotor/cap/plug wires. I have a good cap, relatively new plug wires, new rotor, plugs and points. I have spark, though it won't fire. I wonder if there is a definitive way to set the points other than what the book indicates?

Anywho, tbanks for the additional troubleshooting info and the possible info for a mag alignment if necessary. Anyone else got anything different for me out there?
