12v conversion kit not working

but we will need to know what coil and what resistors you are using..

I am using a new 12v coil that came with the conversion kit and a ceramic resistor which also came with the kit that appears to be a .05 ohm. The url listed shows a image file of the wiring diagram which I followed and double-checked after my original posting

.05 ohms is virtually nothing.. almost just 'wire' resitance for the whole harness.

Generally.. the square 12v coils need .5 ohms of ressitance.. OR the ballast resistor.. but not both..

if it was the oem 6v coil.. you need the OEM ballast resistor AND a dropping resistor like an 8ne10306.

Are you running this ceramic resistor AND your ballast resistor? if so bypass your ballast resistor and see what that gets you.

Lets analyze this. You're having trouble starting yer new-to-you 9N. So in a brilliant burst of electrically challenged creativeness, you decide to fixx 3-problems at 1-time. You doubt? You cite bad wiring, good place to start and STOP. But NO, you don't stop, you convert to 12-volts 'cuz "Bubba" down at the local barley-pops emporium sez' "thats the thing to do". He don't know squats about N-Tractors, but he can talk a good talk.

Now you have a 3rd problem, that you will swear onnna stacka Bibles that you wired your 12-volt conversion per the instructions and now it will only start iff'n you do a shadetree mechanics trick of by-passing all the stuff you claim you wired correctly and it starts. Do you sense a dichotomy here?

Me? I'd check the wiring between the top-post of the squarecan ignition coil and the ignition ON terminal. Use a $5 lite'inna'pick to trace them missing electrons. ...or... you could squander $10 for a real electrical testmeter at yer local hardware store. Simple, eh?..... ..respectfully, Dell yer self-appointed sparkie-meister

If you Bypass the ignition switch with your Jumper it would be very unusual for the switch to operate normally. If you want the switch to work it must be in the circuit.

You need to Spec what coil you are using.
