9N no spark

[Mr Twister]

My 9N has no spark. Ran perfect but sat for two month. I have voltage (6amp+)to the bottom side of the coil. I cleaned the points with 220 sand paper still no spark. Short of putting on new points is there a way to check the points & condenser while still on the tractor? I have a loader on the tractor and it"s a bit hardtop get to. Thanks!

The distributor is held on by two bolts. You take the wires off,
take the whole thing over to your bench and check the point gap.
Gap should be 15 thousandths on all four lobes.
Replace the points if needed with good quality ones like Standard
BlueStreak or Echlin Premium. No plastic rubbing blocks.
You can test them with an ohmmeter while on the bench also.

Distributor only goes on one way, no teeth like others to time it.
You may also want to invest in an I&T FO-4 manual, about $20.
It shows you how to set the timing which is also done on the bench.
If I'm not making sense to you, let us know.

stick a test lamp inline with the wire to the top of the coil.. turn engine over with key on.. lamp should blink.. post back

ps.. you should have 6ish volts at bottom of coil.. not amps.
