Dean, you just explained a bit of bad tractor behavior to me that has had me puzzled for some time.  I now know not only what the problem was, I know how I solved it, both of which had been mysteries to me.

Thank you!

 ?I was away from farm machinery for 40 years so i had to relearn almost everything but I distinctly remember having a tractor that wouldn't start as long as i was hitting the starter but as soon as i let go of the starter? "boom" the tractor would start. The starter was drawing so much away from the battery voltage that the voltage to the points was so low it wouldn't produce enough spark to run. .
