If the ignition switch is fed its hot voltage off the L terminal on the VR and thats NOT hot, SHE CANT EVER SPARK OBVIOUSLY.
There MUST be hot battery voltage present on:
BOTH sides of the Ammeter,,,,The BAT terminal on the VR,,,,,the L terminal on the VR (contrary to a post below). The L terminal is what feeds hot battery voltage to loads lights and Ignition EVEN IF TRACTORS ISNT RUNNING AND EVEN IF GENNY ISNT YET CHARGING
To see if the VR is the problem (L should be hot and if not she cant fire) feed the ignition instead off the Load (NOT battery/starter) side of the ammeter n see if she fires then?????
On tractors that used a 3 terminal VR that didnt have the Load terminal, loads like lights and ignition got fed off the load side of ammeter. Thats the same (load) side of ammeter that wires down to BAT on the VR, the ammeters other Supply side wires to the battery.
If you wanna still use that VR thats bad cuz the L isnt hot, just unhook the wire off L and wire it instead to the load side of the ammeter (or even over to BAT, same thing electrically). the its working just like a 3 terminal (NO L) VR with loads fed off ammeter. If L works (always hot) then Id use it as it regulates a bit better
If still no spark run my Troubleshooting Procedure:
Got it?????????? If no voltage to L and ignition is fed off L: NO FIRE,,,,,Try to feed ign switch off ammeters load side or VR's BAT n see if she sparks???
Let me know, Im on and off aS iM ON THE ROAD IN MY rv IN fLORIDA but I will eventaully get on

Today's Featured Article - Women and Tractors - Tractor Engine Repair - by Teri Burkholder. One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
