Mark, Pertronix makes electronic ignition units to replace the points and condensor and they are capable of producing more spark energy, but I dont see that as your problem and anything you need to rush out n buy or else the sky is gonna fall lol.

Id check the points gap and re gap if necessary. If they look pretty good but only gray oxide coated I would non abrasively clean/buff/polish and try her, but if they are badly burned or pitted or all carboned up, I would replace them and the condensor.

If shes not hitting on all cylinders that may only be a plug or plug wire problem unless those cylinders are bad or way low on compression. IF YOU HAVENT ALREADY I WOULD TRY A NEW SET OF PLUGS FIRST THING.

Next if theres any cracks or carbon traces or chips etc anywhere in the distributor cap Id replace it and the rotor in a heartbeat. Not hard or expensive either. A carbon trace or crack can be diverting the spark away from those missing cylinders !!!!!!!!!!!

Finally I do NOT recommend carbon core suppressor plug wires on old tractors, use wire core wires. You dont wanan waste any spark energy in the form of heat cuz of resistive wires. Its better to expend all of it across the spark plugs gap to better ignite the fuel.

I will let the IHC guys address any fuel or carb issues.
