Thompson1276 257 #1 Posted March 20, 2023 I have a 66 856 that I put a HH100 off a Raider 10 in it’ll run and be fine and btw I only have the starter hooked up right now no other wiring the ground to the SSI is grounded to the side of the block , but I can run it and she tops at about 25 mph and is bookin it and I run her as my race tractor and when she cool or barely ran it’ll start back up again but anytime she runs for a while all spark gone and no way to get it back again the electric coming from the magnets inside behind the flywheel is completely lost until I change the pickup thing it goes to then the power comes back again and a DMM dosnt tell me it’s bad I swapped it out and does fine and gapped the pegs to .20 like a normal engine I always have on these tecumsehs im personally a small engine mechanic but I don’t know why it keeps failing on me I swear I’m doing everything right but I could be wrong but this is now my 3rd one im on if anyone could help me out or leave tips let me know because I only built this tractor not long ago I’m glad I had spare parts but now if I need a new one I need to buy one because I’m out of spare parts to fix it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 58,530 #2 Posted March 20, 2023 Perhaps the solid state ignition module is overheating. Could it have a crack that opens up when heated. Check it with your meter at room temperature and then put it in a preheated 200 degree oven for a few minutes then check it when hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
