When they are open you have infinity .no continuity, closed should show a very small ohm rating . One other thing run a temp ground jumper from a clean spot on the engine block to the battery neg. There is a small ground cable under your engine on those isolation mount tractors that can fail and the engine is not grounded. Jumper bypasses that potential issue.

953 nut 70,026 #28 Posted November 2 Do yourself a favor and cure one problem at a time, Get the ignition system working properly, get the engine running, and then you can do a functional test on the charging system. Have you done the static timing yet? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kid with a wheelhorse 3 #31 Posted 3 hours ago Thanks for all the help i replaced the points for new ones that work and I am still not getting spark what should I do next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 70,026 #32 Posted 26 minutes ago A new set of points will have a slight film over the contact areas, Use a dollar bill or brown paper bag to remove this. Do not use sandpaper or a file. Have you used static timing to accurately set your points? I attached a YouTube video to a prior post to guide you through it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
