I rebuilt the mag on my 38 f-20 and the tractor runs good but is hard to start sometimes and it constantly burns the points. I have tried other condensers and still have the same problem. when i bought the tractor it had a bad coil and primary leadout wire. i replaced these and it seemed to have good spark. i would like to get a new distributor disc and brushes. but this probably isn't my problem. any suggestions?

Check for grounds in the dist. if you are losing your ground in the points or the advance plate you will brn points if they are brown or orange color then it is a grond problen if burnt blue or a black color then the voltages are to high and you will need to add a resistor some how not that good with a mag but that is where to start
