We were using the Super H last weekend for a hayride and all of the sudden it started sputtering and stalled out. Now it will not start at all. It is getting fuel to carb. When I pull a spark plug I do not see it firing. I looked at roto-bug which is only few weeks old and it looked ok. Is it possible the coil went out and if so would it just stop running like that. Is there a way to test coil? Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Yes, there is a good chance it is the coil. But, there is also a good chance it is the condenser. When the coil quits, it is usually a gradual breakdown with missing as well as recovery when the coil cools. With a condenser, it is usually an "on" or "off" situation, which sounds a lot like your condition.
Since condensers are a lot cheaper than coils, replace it first. Even if it is not the condenser, it doesn't hurt to have a spare on hand. Best of luck.

Also check the points for proper gap on the high point of a lobe. The gap is .020". Clean those points as well. Jim

Take the wires off your coil. Get a OHM meter. Your OHM's reading will be 366 OHM's then drop to 5 to 9 OHM's. If you get 36 OHM's then drops to 5 OHM's you have a bad coil. I just had a new coil go out and that was the readings I was getting on mine.
Check to make sure you're getting battery voltage to your coil if you have a distributor. With the points open and your ignition switch in the on position you should have battery voltage on both small terminals on the coil. If there's no voltage here you need to check your ignition switch for voltage. Run a separate wire from your battery to the coil then see if the tractor will start. Hal
