A simple question that may not matter. What Guage should the wire be from the coil to the distributor. Or does it matter. I am putting the 8n back to original as much as possible to find out why it isn't running right. I know the wire that is on it now isn't original. It burned through 5 or 10 years ago and I replaced it with 16 Guage. Ammeter doesn't work so that has been ordered. Copper conductor in distributor was broken and soldered back together. Those replacement parts are on order. Distributor dust cover is broken in several key points around the edge. That is on order. I have two new sets of points and condenser. Those will be put on when I get the order from this site. My problem is no spark from the coil, with a new coil, but so many parts are compromised already that I have to bring it back up to spec just to start troubleshooting. Thanks for your help. BTW I have had this tractor since July 4th 2001. The same day I bought my little 10 acre horse farm. Another little question. Should the 6 volt coil need an external resistor, or not?

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
