On the check valves, I will see if I can get it running, maybe clean these valves, replace the o-rings etc, the valve with the silver looks almost like it has been modified, ground, etc so I thought something may be wrong with that.
I'm going by memory here on the coil, with the switch on there is 12 volts, when turned over to start there is 8 volts, I also measured at the starter for a reference, and only got 8 volts at the starter as well so I assume you get some drain from the draw of cranking the motor. I need to trace every wire on the tractor, a couple have been replaced at the end of the black tubing of the wiring harness, and are not the correct color etc. I will see if I can find the correct color, and gauge of wire, splice, solder, and heat shrink it then clean the terminals as well. That way I can eliminate the wiring.
From just a stand back look, it appears I will have to pull the motor to check the stator, and wiring etc, I have got to get a service manual for this little girl so I will have a better clue as to what's going on, and direction to take as well. I have not had time to dig into it yet, I'm off work next week, so that's when I will dig in, fix the wiring etc. One thing is for sure, I'm not getting any spark at the plug, or she would crank up with starting fluid being sprayed into the carb while cranking, now I just need to find out why I'm not getting any spark at the plug. I will keep you updated, and have many more questions, I have very little experience with points/coil system, however I'm a machine technician by trade, so I do have a lot of experience in trouble shooting as that's what I have done for a living for 15 years....
If I'm getting 12 volts at the coil + terminal, and 8 volts at the + terminal while cranking, why would I not be getting any spark at the plug ?
