[AT] tractor electrical question

[John Hall]

Solenoid appears to be putting out the 12V needed for cranking while 
starter is spinning. I guess key switch could possibly be the issue, but 
everything else appears to work fine including the fuel solenoid on carb.

Whatever it is, its heat related. Takes about 1/2 hr to get hot enough 
to fail and more juice to the coil fixes it. I really think its a 
resistor or resistor wire built in the harness some where. I put on a 
new condenser today--not too happy with the no-name pts and condenser 
set I put in  recently. Looked up this condenser directly off the Delco 
number in the parts book. Going to go mow tomorrow and see if the 
problem is still there--will be armed with jumper wire and volt meter.
