Started tractor. Started no problem and was running great. While hooking up the brush hog it started cutting in and out and then died. Removed bolt on bottom of carburator, plenty of fuel. Tested spark plug for spark. Not even a hint of spark. Tested coil for spark. No spark. New coil since the one on it was 9 years old. Still not spark. New points and condenser. Still no spark. Ignition switch is only 2 years old. Ammeter shows about 4 amps discharge when running starter. It fluctuates rapidly between 0 and a little below 0. There isn't any markings on the ammeter between 0 and 10. Probably a wiring problem? The harness is all wrapped up and I am not sure where to start talking it apart. Can I test the pos and neg wires on the coil to make sure power is getting to the coil, and what should I expect?
