I had an initial posting about my project in August and appreciated the feedback. I'm still having problems with my tractor. Again I am working on a Case 770 that had its points and condenser changed to an electrical ignition unit. I'm still unable to get a spark in the sparkplugs. If I connect a sparkplug directly to a sparkplug wire coming out of the coil I get a good blue spark on the sparkplug. If I reattach the sparkplug to a wire coming out of the distributor cap I don't get a spark. It seems to me that I can get a good current into the distributor cap but I can't get it to flow through it. I've replaced the distributor cap and rotor with the stock parts for a Case 770. I also have twisted the entire distributor while turning the engine over to compensate for the posibility of the timing being off but still can't get a spark in the sparkplugs. I've tried multiple coils and have tried running a wire directly from the battery to the + on the coil bypassing the switch in case there was a short. About the only thing I can think of that I haven't tried is replacing the electronic ignition assembly. I would think if the electronic ignition assembly was bad I wouldn't even get a spark when hooking a sparkplug directly to the coil so I've been reluctant to replace it. Can anyone help me understand what might be wrong?

Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
