Morning all and Happy Sunday!
I've noticed my tractor will start only when I let off the starter button. Gets to be an issue when it's really cold and it doesn't spin over quite as fast. Not all the time, but it's big trouble when the cows are hungry.
It has an on/off key switch and a momentary push button for the starter.
Where and how should I start diagnosing before replacing parts? Check voltages along the line while cranking? What do you think the problem is? Got a good battery and new, big battery cables.
I haven't had much trouble with points or condenser, but is an electronic ignition upgrade justifiable? I want to make this puppy as reliable as I can.
Thank you. I will try to post back. I know I'm not very good at following up.
