If you run a magneto voltage output will increase with RPM so where high secondary voltage is most needed for reliable spark gap ionization the mag is able to deliver all that is required without problem.Coil and batt ignition is not so able to maintain voltage at higher RPM because the coil core is magnetized by battery [primary]current only during intervals when points are closed.When RPM increasespoints close for a shorter time.the magnetic feild of the coil now becomes weaker as the coil is less saturated with magnetism.So a better coil may help high speed running there will be no major difference at low speed.THe idea of the dual point distributor solves some of the coil saturation problem.That all being said without any increase over stock RPM range the original engineers have probably designed an ignition system worthy of firing your tractor within the normal operating speeds.Theoreticly an ignition system does not increase horsepower.

I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. 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
