Posted by 240 blues on January 17, 2000 at 08:13:40 from (209.217.200.94):
I recently converted my 240 utility to 12 volt using a 12v generator, new regulator, 12v coil, 12v battery, and installed a resistor(chrysler type) between the coil and the distributor. The conversion worked excellent while in my shop (50-60 degrees) but now that it sits outside (0 degrrees this morning) It doesn't want to start very good. The battery turns the starter very well, but the tractor seems to fire only if the throttle is set at an idle. At this setting it will fire a couple of times but will not catch and stay running. I can't make it fire at any other throttle setting. This is upsetting becaucse it is my snowplowing tractor, and my driveway is much too long to shovel! Can the coil be bad? It is a coil that I took off a 656(which was working fine) to install one with a built in resistor to attempt to make my planter monitor work better (it didn't make the monitor work any better). It had a complete tune-up not long ago. Can the starter be turning so fast the tractor has a hard time starting? Please help, the snow is getting deep!
