It probably wouldn’t be a bad idea to check the wires or just replace them.
Looking forward to what you find.

It was a beautiful day, and I didn't feel like I wanted to spend all day on it, so I simply replaced everything. Points, Condenser, Coil. All either Kohler, or Echlin from Napa, so no question they should be solid. While I was right there, I cut in a fuel filter that I should have years ago. Cleaned the points push rod, but it was already moving smoothly, so no issue there. It fired right up, and sat happily for a minute, then I pulled it out, put it in high and ran it around, up the hill, full bore, down the hill full speed, back up, back down. Didn't die. I did hear it miss a couple times, but it didn't slow, or bog down.

I'm calling it done.

Got the new snowcaster hooked up. Runs smoothly. I need to check the clearance of the auger, but I believeI'm ready for the winter with it. I'll run it around a few more times, and then the JD140 will get listed for sale, and I'll get a little space back...
