Since the temperature finally dropped below 100 degrees and it stopped
raining, I thought I'd take another stab at getting the 430 to run. After taking
the distributor apart and cleaning everything it still wouldn't get any spark.
After a little more wiggling, I found one of the wires on the key switch was
loose, as soon as I tightened it up, the tractor fired right up. I knew it had
to be something simple, I just didn't think it would THAT simple. Oh well,
being true to my Dutch heritage I replaced the new points, condensor and coil
with the old ones and put the new one's on the shelf for another day ( I
thought about brining them back, but I'd just be buying them again eventually
anyway). I guess it was time to clean all the connections and electrical parts
anyway. Thanks again for all of your help.
Enjoy, Joe
