Question, is it 12 volts originally. Reason I ask
is that if it is , no doubt it will have a
solenoid on starter or starter relay with a bypass
terminal on it. This is to supply full battery
voltage to ign coil when cranking. There will be a
two small wire terminal, and one wire goes
directly to coil, other is a resistor wire coming
from ign switch. Hard to tell by looking at the
wire. You can put a volt meter on that terminal
and at input side of coil to check your voltage.
Points have to be closed so they are completing a
circuit. If you do indeed have what I describe you
will read about half of battery voltage. Now,
while cranking, the voltage at that terminal
should be same as cranking voltage of battery. May
just be a bad relay but could be other wires or
connections. At any rate, you are getting very
low voltage to coil during cranking, thus poor
spark for starting. You can check resistance of
coil with ohm-meter. If it is a true 12 volt coil
the readings between the two primary terminals
will be about 3 or 4 ohms. If six volt, which it
should be ,it will be l.5 to 2.5 ohms. So many
guys look for visible resistors, when later model
tractors incorporated it in the wire and is
invisible. But if it has two wires leading off one
terminal of solenoid or magnetic switch, it is in
harness.

Today's Featured Article - An AC Model M Crawler - by Anthony West. Neil Atkins is a man in his late thirties, a mild and patient character who talks fondly of his farming heritage. He farms around a hundred and fifty acres of arable land, in a village called Southam, located just outside Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. The soil is a rich dark brown and is well looked after. unlike some areas in the midlands it is also fairly flat, broken only by hedgerows and the occasional valley and brook. A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si ... [Read Article]
