It always cranks. It just seems very lethargic. The wiring is a mess on this tractor. I plan to buy a new harness when things slow down at work. I'll be sure to clean all connections when I install the new wires. The points look fairly clean. I guess I could replace the plug and wire. How would the ignition components effect the cranking though? Do they suck up too much power due to higher resistance (as rusted/corroded/dirty connections would too) and slow down the starter?
