If you say so. Like I said, I know how they install and how they work. Points wear our on a Kohler about 1 or 2 times in the life of the motor, which is about 40 years. I bet that trandenser fails before a set of points do. I've seen them cause more problems than they fixed. But, it's your money, and your tractor.
