[AT] Points

> I have the same problem with my farmall a if it sits a couple months . By accident I stumbled onto a way to start it even when its damp outside .
  JC whitney used to sell a emergency ignition system for gm with the 
early electronic system . It is basically a high voltage supply that 
makes a continious  spark able to jump a 1/2 inch . One wire to B+,one 
to B  - third wire goes into the center of the distributor cap . It has 
a evil whine to it but it takes about two revolutions to start the 
tractor , let it run for about two minutes and shut it down and put  the 
regular coil wire back on . Something about the points running for a 
short time shatters the corrosion right off them and it will run after 
that for a couple months .
  There is a guy in canada who sell a kit for a similar device, all you 
have to do is assemble it and use it . Price is very reasonable .   Ivan
