If the "starter button" is what is used to start the engine......what is deemed as the "kill switch"?
Albeit....electrical problems always being the worse. I'm almost at the point of "rewiring" the whole ignition syastem.
That's the only way to find out how it works......take it apart.....right?
I do appreciate all the helpful info...
It helps to bounce ideas off of others.
If wired as you describe, the key switch (or 'ignition' switch) controls battery power to the coil (and the rest of the ignition thereafter). This key would be turned ON to allow the tractor to run, and OFF to stop the engine. That's your 'kill switch'.
When the ignition is ON with the key switch, the other electrical thing that has to happen is to energize the starter (with the spring-loaded button) to start the engine turning over so it can fire. This last part is where you seem to have a problem.
These old tractors would engage the starter whether or not the ignition was ON or OFF--two totally separate circuits, except for the battery. Bottom line, you need to get the motor to turn AND you need well-timed sparks at the plugs--two very separate things.
