[Farmall] More Magneto Woes

[cliff king]

Is the block where the mag mounts on the engine clean>? Take the mag back off and do another bench test on it. If still no spark, email me for my phone number.

Hello,



I replaced the coil and coil cover on the IH H4 Magneto on my Farmall Super
A.  I finally got it together, and tested it.  I hooked a spark plug up,
with the tip of the plug next to my vise, and spun the mag.  I got a decent
blue spark, so I know the rascal worked then.  



I was about to reinstall the mag, and I decided to test it once more.  I
have not seen a blue spark, and I am repeating the same procedure that I did
before.  I wondered if the spark plug was bad, so I pulled another plug and
tried it.  No spark, no nothing.  



Is the condenser bad?  I did not replace it; maybe I should have done that
as it is.  I sure hope I did not destroy my new coil!  



Thanks, 

Ben Wagner
