[Farmall] Farmall 340 Not starting

[DANNY MC FEE]

   I have seen it here before and you will hear it again from others
  1. check the grounds
  2. check the grounds
  3. check the gounds
  4. on my H some of the time the power cable is the issue.  make sure that all the connections are clean and tight. you need the voltage but also a good solid path for current. carefully see if any connection feels hot after you try to start up. 
  5. look for a short. 
   
  Good luck

Folks, Late last week I went out to start my Farmall 340. It fired right
up and ran maybe three or four minutes and then died suddenly like the
switch had been turned off. Tried starting it again and nothing..no sputter
or single fire or anything like it was a gas problem. 

So I started going down the path of looking for an electrical problem.
Checked and with the switch on I am getting voltage to the coil but nothing
coming out. I pulled the main wire coming out of the coil and put it near
the frame and no sparks when cranking over the tractor. Points looked a
little pitted. So I replaced the condenser and points. Still nothing. No
juice coming out of the coil when main wire near frame.

So yesterday I replaced the coil. Still no juice coming out of the coil
when I put the main wire coil near frame. With switched turned on I do get
voltage to the coil.

What is next?

Thanks
