Worked on my combine this weekend. I pulled the heads last fall because I couldn't get it to run. Found a couple bad valves and some broken springs. Had the heads rebuilt and got them back last week. It was warm this weekend so I thought I would put it together. Everything went well til I tried to start it, then had no spark. Had spark at the points, but nothing at the wires. All the electrical was replaced Last year, but I thought new points, condenser, and rotor might help. Put them in and had spark, even got it to fire, but then nothing again. Found the new points were sticking open. So put the old ones back. Had good spark again, even got it to fire, then nothing again. Found just a weak spark. So figured the new condenser went bad. I just happened to have one in the truck from tuning up the swather last fall. Put that in and had good spark again, even got it to run for a minute. Then nothing again. This time I found the tab on the new rotor had broken off. So put the old one back in. Had spark again and got it to fire in spite of it being flooded, but then the battery was dead and it was dark. So I guess it will be next weekend before it comes home. I got those parts from O'Reilly's and will be taking them back, along with the oil filter I got from them a while ago that has bad threads. I've heard of getting bad parts these days, but that seems crazy. I usually get parts from Napa, but they were closed when I needed them. I'll get new ones from them this week.
