I have a 240 Utility, wehnt o use it and it wouldn't start. A new coil got it running for about 15 minutes. A little investigation found a bad resistor. Now 2 resistors, another coil, points and condenser and it still won't start unless I bypass the resistor. Then it starts and runs fine. I tested the ignition circit with the distributor cap off, ignition switch on and I get votage to the points through the resistor, and coil when I hold the points open. However when I try to start the enginge I loose spark. I'm thinking a bad ignition switch. Any other ideas?
