A friend of mine asked me to install his Pertronix Igniter, Pertronix coil, new distributor cap and new plug wires in his 560. He had charged the battery before I got there. I went today. Here is the story:
He had been using the tractor daily. Ran fine one day, no start the next. He assumed it was points related and purchased the aforementioned materials. After installing them today I got it to fire once, after that nothing. Even with ether I couldn't even get a puff.
I checked each wire with an inline spark tester and that shows them as sparking. I also pulled plug six and got a weaker orange spark.
At this point the only thing I can come up with other than plugs, which it will be getting anyway now, is if the battery has an internal short on it. I had a forklift battery recently that had a dead short in it and the charger would take it to 12v but as soon as there was a draw on it (in this case the starter) it had little to no usable current.
Any other thoughts would be great. I think his engines just hate me as it took me over a year to get his skidloader running well again (weak fuel pump).

I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
