    At my wits 2Nd

    Volt meter can't get a good read right now, I'll probably take some time to clean the contacts with some scotchbrite later, battery charger I hooked it up to is saying 6.3-6.4, but it's a Canadian Tire charger so I'm not super confident in those numbers.

    I double check pretty much every time I go back to the battery. 6v at the battery.

    coil does not spark when hooked directly to the battery. and touching the frame of the tractor.

    I need to be careful here because it's positive ground so everything is weird, do I connect it to the positive, or negative on the battery? Also, do I need a specific gauge of wire, or will a piece of 120v extension cord do it?

    Points are at .015±.001, plugs are at .025±.002. I do QC in a machine shop as my day job so I'm 100% Confident in those numbers. I've rebuilt the distributor twice, how do I check for shorts? Should the coil spark on its own, or do I have to touch it to a ground to spark?

    So I've got this ford 2N, 6v system, front mount distributor. I was using it to dig holes, then it started to cut after about 2-5 minutes run time. No sputter, just cut. Smelled like an electrical problem, as I had already replaced the carb, fuel line, and sediment filter, so likely the...
