I usually wait until after lunch when things dry out and it will fire right off and run like a champ. Just now getting some time to work on this and wanted to get some expert options on what may be causing this or how to start troubleshooting to pinpoint the problem. thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

Check , or replace coil wire . Check , or replace coil . You might wipr off the nose of the coil . It may be tracking out of the nose , and going to ground . Oil and crud on the nose of the coil . and the center post of the cap is a good place for the hot spark to track to ground . Good luck [Reply]  [No Email]

Also I would check all spark plug wires. If they are old they may also have cracks in them. I have a 55 TO-35. They are a great tractor. Chris [Reply]  [No Email]
