While we are on the subject of point savers and points. Does anyone ever check the push rod length for the points? I have a 149 that is a PITA to start in the winter. I have this problem every year. I modified the seat pan to fit a very small auto battery. I know its not a cranking problem. The points seem to pit every year. I put in new p/c in the summer. Also changes coils. And now the tractor wouldn't start. It has spark but weak. cleaned the points it finally started. I was thinking of going to the point saver and just have second thoughts.
But anyway back to the rod length for the points. Does anyone know the lenght of the rod? I know the early ones where aluminum and wore. Not sure about the steel ones. Mines 1.550 thou.
