First we need to eliminate the possibilty of a fuel-flow problem. Look at the bottom of the carb bowl. You'll see a plug. Get yourself a container and the wrench to remove the plug. Run the engine until it stalls, then quickly move your container under the carb and remove the plug. If you don't have a strong, steady stream of fuel coming out of that plug, there's a restriction somewhere between the tank and the carb. That's the most common thing that would cause the type of problem you describe. The next most common thing probably would be the coil. The coil you describe sounds different, but should have worked. There are three types of coils- 6 volt, externally resisted 12 volt, and internally resisted 12 volt. With a 12-volt system, the voltage going to the coil needs to be reduced to 6 volts, to avoid burning the points. A resistor is used to accomplish this, the only difference between the two is the location of the resistor. A 12-volt externally resisted coil will be the same as a 6 volt, if you don't have a resistor wired in ahead of it, but if you get a internally resisted coil by mistake and try to use it with your 6 volt system, it will cut the voltage to the points to almost nothing.

For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
