[Farmall] Farmall not starting---still!

[ebony51 at frontiernet.net]

It does turn over. I assume if the negative ground was not grounded, then the starter would not function.  It has been converted to 12 volts.  Or am I missing something? (well, obviously I am missing something somewhere).

Thanks

Larry

Check the Ground very carefully. My H was having it's issues and nothing seem to help until I cleaned and reinstalled the battery to ground connection.

Well, I am still not  the Farmall A started.  No spark to points.  I put on new points and new condenser.  Set ththe points at .20 and cleaned them.   Had the coil checked.  Put in new distributor gear (old one had a chip in it so the rotor had quite a bit play in it).   Put a new magneto cap on it (it is converted from magneto to 12 volts and the magneto is being used as a distributor.  Put a new wire from the end of the condenser to the base of the points (that is a pain) thinking that it might have a short in it.  

Finally quite tonight at 9:30.  Any suggetions. 

I have been messing with this thing off and an on now for a month.
