210B Problem Solved

[doc bob]

A couple of years ago I had to put a horse of mine in a paddock where I had my old faithful 210B stored in a shed out of the weather. I left the horse in there only a few days, but when I took him out, I checked my tractor and discovered that he had ripped out all the ignition wires, distributor cap and the gas cap was missing. Well, I finally got organized, got some new parts, drained the gas tank, convinced myself that the tractor has a positive ground, and got it running again. Sounds good now.

I believe a 210B is negative ground.

For what?

lol now u tell me
i wired it up with a neg ground n got no voltage tru the solenoid switched the battery around n wired it up with a pos ground n it runs good can the british b wrong
i tried to look up a wiring diagram for it n the closest thing i could find was one 4 a 310B it showed a pos ground 4 it
no wonder i feel squirrelly
