Assuming it has a coil and points ignition, when it stalls go to the front and feel the ignition coil carefully. If it is too hot to keep your fingers on, it is very likely your problem. If the tractor has been converted to 12 volts, the coil needs to be marked "12v no resistor required", or it should be "12v for use with an external resistor, and it should have the resistor in the wire going from the Ignition sw. to the coil". It can also have a 6 volt coil and use an external resistor. If it is 6v, it will have a 6v coil. If 12v, and using an alternator (aluminum housing) it is likely negative ground. Coil wire to the side of the dist housing connected to negative coil post. If generator it could be either way (Pos, or Neg Ground) the wire to the dist should match the ground type at the coil. If it is a magneto, there is no voltage connected to the mag, just a wire that shorts the mag to ground to kill the engine. The mag makes its own electricity. To test the mag, use a good sparkplug (used is ok) and put it on a plug wire and lay it on the metal of the engine so you can see the spark jump. It should be white/blue and strong, yellow and thready is bad. If it has fuel (as Gene says) it will run out of the drain and keep running well (Test for at least 30 seconds or a minute into a clean can). Let us know what happens. Jim

All these conditions can be signals that your unit is in need of a tune up. Ok, so what is involved in a tune up? You say, swap plugs and file the points....now tha
