hello m10878 ,did the mag spark of the tractor ? ,if it did, try it without the kill switch disconnected ,kill switch can get moister inside them or corrosion in them causing a short .bruce oz
actually tried that yesterday started off as it wasnt getting much of a spark than it started sparking in the wrong place. it started sparking off the spring instead of the points which i didnt understand. messed with it alittle a few mins ago managed to loose 2 of the screws trying to put the points back on with just a drop light have to start again tomorow. im thinking i might have to replace the points again.
