Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

I think what I'm going to do for the time being is double check the compression with a gauge and then reinstall the original condenser. I did notice when I removed it that its connection to the point was a little loose. If that gets my spark back then I'll replace the plugs and see what that gets. B...

That's very true.

I really appreciate everyone's support. I know I have compression. I know had spark. If I put everything back together and it's just that new plugs were needed I'm going to feel pretty dumb.

It’s getting to be enough that I’m about ready to quit

I’m going to check everything again. Is it possible the test condenser I got (it’s for a car) is so wrong it just plain won’t work?

Condenser was grounded. Not much way to see if things are working correctly. Tried turning it by hand to see if I could but not much luck

Managed to get a nut and put it all back together. No spark at all now. Maybe the plunger isn’t working right after I removed the points case. Is there a right or wrong way to reinstall it?

Well, I got the points out, cleaned and filed them (only very minor putting). Cleaned the box. Hooked up a new test condenser. And then…. When I was going to reattach the points I dropped the nut. I don’t know if it went on the ground or down into the frame of the tractor but it’s gone and didn’t ha...

I plan to do all that tomorrow. The points are very hard to get to will require some dissembley. From what I could see there was a lot of oily crud in the points box though

Yep. Same result. I’ll just buy new plugs and try it.
