I have been chasing problems for some time on this tractor. I had it running well earlier this year, then on day mowing by the road it quit. I had nothing, no spark. I replaced the condenser for the third time, nothing, I then replaced the coil for the second time in less than a year, got spark and got it off the road. Points were replaced as well. I have set the timing by every method metioned here. I can get the thing to purr. I have 3 acres to mow, I make about 8 passes and it just dies. It seems like it may have something to do with the timing so I try another method and get it working again (maybe because it cooled down). I make another 6-12 passes it does it again.
Is there something i am missing?
