to20 ferguson Recently changed from a 6 to a 12 volt system and intalled electronic ignition. Starts quickly runs good after a while it shuts off 30 seconds starts again then shuts off Changed oil and coil twice new wires twice. Inline resistor does not seem to be getting hot. Does not seem to be a ful problem does not miss or sputter just shuts off,after a min fires up runs agin ten min then shuts down again any ideas or suggestions thanks so much!!!
 
Shouldn't use a resistor with the electronic ignition conversion. At least not with the two dozen I have installed.

The only time you might need one is if you don't have the correct coil. I put a Pertronix kit on my 202 and made sure I bought the coil designed to go with the kit, no resistor needed.

Are you sure you got a 12V kit? I'm thinking based on the model of your tractor maybe you got a 6V kit and it's overheating.
 
When it quits you should check for fire to your sparkplugs asap before anything cools. If there's no fire or weak fire I would replace the resistor. If that doesn't fix it I think I would go back using the points and condenser. Hal
 
I had a TO35 that did that, turned out there is a filter at the end of the fuel line going into the carb. It was partially clogged.
