rojojr13 1 #1 Posted June 23, 2011 Hi all, I have a D200 that I am working on. It was running but died on me. I knew it was an electrical issue because of the way it died. I found that the ammeter had a short. I got it running again and finished the job. The wiring looked pretty bad throughout - so I decided that I would attempt to rewire the whole beast. I also have a C125 so I can do without the D200 for a little while. I got the manuals and believe that I have her back together correctly for the most part. When I turn the ignition switch the engine will crank but I was not getting a spark at the plug. I have cleaned the points so I do not think that this is the issue. although I ordered new points and a condensor which have not arrived yet. I put new plugs in and gapped them to spec. I am wondering if I may have the coil connected backwards. I have attached a photo the type of coil it has to this post. Can anyone identify the positive terminal for me so that I can double check to see that I have it installed correctly. I was not able to find any marking on the coil itself. Any other ideas would be most welcome as well. My wife is getting agitated with me because I am spending my nights working on the tractor. Please help me save my marriage by providing me an answer. Thanks in advance. rojo Attached Image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rojojr13 1 #2 Posted June 24, 2011 I got a few minutes to look at this again tonight. It turns out it is the points. I put a test light on the coil and ran it to ground and had power on both sides of the coil. I then tested for power at the points and was not getting anything. After some tinkering finally got a spark across the points and when that happened the plug immediately fired. Eurika. I was able to get it running. But the fuel system is still disconnected so I only ran it for a few seconds. Tomorrow it is time to take on the fuel system. Impulse pump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
