H won't start

Still problem. As last resort I took off the
push button start switch and took it apart. It was badly pitted. I went down to get a new one..cost me about $10 and she started. But, it is still a little reluctant and I believe I need a new starter motor or possible voltage regulator. I always have to charge the batter with a trickle charger after using it. I hear this is not unusual though. I would like to get good starter 6 volt box to give it a jolt and save time too. One more think...check your battery cables...buy the thickest ones you can buy..very important.

Either pull the tractor to start or go buy a new battery.

Anywho, are you saying you have a mag thats been converted to battery power for the coil????? If thats so the very first thing you gotta have is good hot battery voltage getting to the coils high input (NOT to points) terminal when an ignition switch is turned on and a dead or very weak battery cant supply that and isnt getting there in a direct to starter jump..... .

Before I can help you I gotta know if this is a conversion (battery powers the coil) or not????? ????? If its still a Mag Im out to lunch on IHC mags but can help if its a battery powered mag conversion.

If its a conversion shes not gonna run till you get good hot batetry voltage to the coils high input (NOT to points). If it has an IGN switch maybe its bad or try to hot wire it n se if she fires then. If its a conversion get a test lamp n place it on the coils input n see if it lights up when an IGN switch is turned on??? If not so sparky

If its still a Mag ask the IHC mag gents to help ya

Let me try that picture again. Hal

Do you have battery ignition with a distributor or do you have a mag that's been converted to a distributor? Either way you need a good battery
to supply battery voltage to your coil. If the battery is weak you need to have it checked and you need to check your charging voltage at the battery. You need to tell us if you are still using the 6 volt or if it has been converted to 12 volts. With a mag you don't need battery voltage, the battery is is only needed for cranking the engine. Has your mag been converted
like the one in this picture? Hal
