When you pull the plug is it wet?

How old are the plugs/wires?

Any lose connections in and around your coils?

What are your compression numbers?

Have you checked the timing?

Is your valve clearance all in spec?

Yeah I redid the wiring on my old mans international tractor, an old 300U. I triple checked everything but just could not get it to fire... new coil, new alt, new d-cap and wires, reset the timing, fresh battery and new wires through the whole machine.


Then he came out, changed the plugs.... and to this day says he "fixed it" :( :angry: :(
