We have been trying to get my Farmall M running, again, and we just for the life of us, can't make the thing run! I am sick and tired of fighting with it, tried to sell it yesterday...
Anyways, here is where we are at. The mag is PERFECTLY timed with the 1st notch on the pulley on the engine, just like the book says to do. WHEN the mag snaps, it produces a LARGE BRIGHT BLUE spark at the coil wire, however, the spark plugs rarely fire, and when they do, the spark is pathetic. We have tried 3 different sets of wires, 2 caps, 2 rotors, a different carb, re timed everything 10 or 12 times, and it is the same story every time.
We finally realized this spark issue with this mag, we have another we could try, but I suspect things are the same...
Anyone have any help??? Where do I go from here????
