Can anyone tell me what the resistance should be for the oem ignition
resistor? Also what should the ohms read for the proper ballast resistor? The one I bought at NAPA is rated .50-.60 ohms. This is on a 12 volt conversion. Only knocking volts down to 10 volts on a 6 volt coil. Having issues with the tractor running for a while then dying with no spark. I also tried replacing the oem resistor with a China brand bought on line.
The China model gives a reading of 7.4 k ohms. The oem read .7 ohms. This is on a 8N motor front mount distributor in a 2N tractor. I'm about at my wits end with this issue.
I've replaced the points, condenser, distributor cap, new coil, and the resistors mentioned above. Got it started last evening, then it wouldn't start with no spark at the plugs once again. I put the oem ignition resistor back on and now it is running at this very moment. Just waiting to see how long it takes to die.
