I have a '61 ford 2000 4 cyl gas that I bushhog with, been using all summer with zero problems. Was using it recently and it stopped running, just like it had been turned off with the key. I suspected a loose or disconnected wire. All wiring was in place, so I pulled the coil secondary wire to the dist cap out of the coil appr 1/2 inch to see if I had spark. To my surprise the engine started and ran fine. I thought I had found the problem, dirty/bad connection. However, upon pushing the secondary wire back in the coil, the engine died. Will only run with coil wire out about 1/2 inch. Good blue spark is jumping from coil to end of wire, but will not run when inserted. This tractor has a 12v system, coil primary resistance appr 3-4 ohms, no ballast res. used. Dist.cap appr 1 yr old, new points. Is it time for some new wires? Tried troubleshooting with known good coil and wire from 641 and engine would not fire. I thought I had a basic understanding of ignition systems on these old tractors (mostly learned from reading on this site) but I don't understand whats going on with this one. Thanks D sellers

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.
