D160 Onan 16 hp needs quality OEM points

Recommended Posts

1980 D160  Onan 16hp. Looking for quality points that are not cheap plastic. Mine uses the generator style points 160-1154. 2 sets later and the screw to mount condensor and coil wire will not tighten, just spins.

  I recently got this tractor and the points were burned in half when I pulled the cover plate. Coil ohms are 3.7ohms and 20k ohms across spark plug holes. 20k seems high as per spec. It has a ballast resisitor mounted between points and coil. Will these be a problem causing the points to burn in half ?

  I have not started or checked for spark yet , waiting to get quality points. Engine is on the bench set up with battery and start solenoid. Ive cranked engine alot to check other things without coil hooked up and points are operating by the pushrod and maintaing .021 gap, but the loose wires on coil are stopping me at this point.
