[AT] Coil test?

[Dean VP]

Ralph:

In thinking about your test of removing one of the adjustment needles and
getting a good flow of gas, I'm not sure that really proved that you still
don't have a restriction of fuel flow in the system.  I'm not familiar with
the configuration of your carburetor so this may be all moot. But if there
is chance that the fuel flow you observed is that coming from the fuel bowl
of the carburetor, then maybe a false conclusion was drawn. Is it really
flowing from the tank or did you happen to tap into the reserve in the
carburetor bowl?

I just replaced the points Walt. And it has not improved things at all. I'll
see if I can get a condensor too.
I've got a good spark tester that I can put on the spark plugs , saves me
from getting electrocuted.
But the tractor runs perfect at idle so I think the spark is ok then. Its
only under load situation that things go bad.
Well at -10 for a high temp today, plus a little wind chill factor thrown in
I was not inspired enough to get out there and do anything with the
tractors.
