Somewhere in the wiring there is a problem it sounds like because it was doing the same thing before you put on the new parts.Maybe the battery doesnt put out enough for the electronic ignition.Seems like I read somewhere the battery has to be putting out its maximum for the electronic ignition to work.So its probably a good idea to try and get it running with the points first.You might want to check the timing,number 1 on TDC look and see if rotor is pointing to number one,keeping in mind if its not on the compression stroke it wont be pointing to number 1 it will be half way around away from number one.One thing I did to get my H running was check the wiring with a test light.I have a resister in my wiring to the coil and was loosing it there because the wire end that hooked to the resister was real rusty.Also those cheap crimp on wire ends were all over my tractors wiring when I first got it.At first it would fire right up but after a while it wouldnt.I found a couple of those crimp on wire ends that were not done very well and wouldnt light my test light.Replaced them and havent had any trouble since.Also it would crank sometimes but very slow,and sometimes it would crank good.I had my starter rebuilt and it was better but not real good.If I didnt have to crank it a lot it would fire up.Finally it got to where I had to jump it straight to the starter to get it started.I finally figured out by grabbing the connection on one of the cables that went to the starter button that was real hot.I replaced that cable and it cranks good now.The cable looked good on the outside but I pulled hard on it and pulled it out of the end and it was real corroded inside of the end where you couldnt see it.Also for not starting I found the wires going to my switch had vibrated loose or something.It would crank good but not run.Wasnt getting fire to the coil or very weak that the light would go out when you cranked it.Traced it back to the switch where one side would light the test light,the other side would just barely light it,while I was messing with it found the wires loose.Im not saying any of this is your problem,but maybe there is some part of it that can help you.If you check your connections especially around the switch and resister if you have one,or just clean them you might find the problem.If you see any of those crimp on wire ends check them first.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
