@DavidBarkey
finally gets that I was joking of course!
I did say it though, to spark a discussion on how could the ammeter possibly show "discharging" but not be wired backwards?!
In fairness , I know your electrical skill set and your sense of haha.

But,
wouldn’t that work. If it’s charging the engine, you could have more amperage for the coil, which would send more energy to the spark plug. So then,,,,, you could widen the gap on the spark plug to give better spark, which would result in a better kaboom.
Which equals more hp. Right or right.
Your thoughts please.

My next build I am going to go electric. Power with a Flux Capacitor so I can save time mowing . Start mowing today and finish yesterday .
That will leave me more time to do the
job list

Two days ago this tractor again wouldn't start when I wanted to mow the grass on the outside of the fence. Something made me take the carburetor bowl off. Too bad I didn't take a picture. Lots of sediment. This tractor has one of those new import carbs. Cleaned it up and installed an inline fuel filter. Now it starts fine but I gotta make time to replace the ancient fuel line.

Glad your shaking the bugs out. It certainly can be a frustrating process.
Keep the Peace
