Help!
Working on my Case 300 this weekend. Removed the hood and adjusted the govenor. Did not touch anything electrical. Went to start the tractor back up and it wouldn't start. Started doing some trouble shooting and had no spark at the plugs. Pulled the wire off the coil going to the distributor and had spark and the tractor fired. So I held the coil wire about 1/2" to 1" away from the coil (so I could really see the spark shooting out of the coil) and the tractor started and ran fine, until I try to plug the wire back in to the coil. I wouldn't even get the wire close to plugged in and the tractor would die. Tried this with 2 other coils, a different coil/dist wire, and different condenser - all with the same results. All of these were used parts.
Any thoughts on what to try next?
Note - I've owned this tractor for ~3 yrs and put ~50 hrs on it. It was converted to 12v before I bought it. Never had any issues until now.
