Check the points for corrosion, oil, burning or pitting and make sure they are set correctly. Make sure that the wire form the coil to the sistributor is attached to the coil termonal with the same sign as the battery ground. Make sure that all your connections in the primary circuit( battery to key switch to solenoid to coil to distributor) are clean and tight and the insulation on the wire is good. Check the primary side of the coil for continuity. Make sure the cap is in good condition and the sockets don"t have corrosion in them. Set the recommended gap on the plug. Are your spark plug wires copper core? If not they should be. Do not use modern carbon core auto plug wires on a gas tractor. Sometimes key switches go bad. Jumper across the key switch and if you get a spark when the jumper is attached, your key switch is bad. DO all these checks sytematically and check for a spark after each change you make. Write down the results for future analysis. If you do that you"ll find the problem and know what caused it.
