Thank you Guys! Not sure what the issue was, I disassembled everything, including the wires to the terminal box, switch and ammeter. reassembled and immediately got spark through the coil when opening the points by hand, turned on the gas and it fired right up. Rich

Re: No Spark just cranking The movable point should at no time be grounded to the anything when the points are open. ^^^^^Yes this^^^^^ Hi NKaminar, Any idea what would cause this to happen? I'll describe the test again, all wiring is in place, distributor is built except top plate is out of...

Re: No Spark just cranking Looking to confirm I should have an open circuit when the points are open and the top plate is in the distributor? Is that correct? With cardboard between the points, red tester lead on the upper plate, block test lead on moveable point, no continuity. As soon as I...

Re: No Spark just cranking I removed the top plate from the distributor and put cardboard between the points. I get no connectivity between the points. With the probes still in place I touch any part of the upper plate to the distributor body, Rotor Shaft or block I get connectivity. I replaced...

Re: No Spark just cranking Hey Canton Model A's, I thought the same, I replaced the coil yesterday with a new one from AutoZone. Also getting spark when I ground the point to the top plate with a screwdriver. Rich

Re: No Spark just cranking Hi JayJay, No spark at the points when cranking with the key on. Timing? Wouldn't there be spark even if the timing was way off? With cardboard between the points, there have been times when there is continuity between the points and the top plate/Distributor...

Re: No Spark just cranking Thanks NKaminar, Sounds like you and Y-Blockhead are looking to the points. I'll go through the points again tonight, I may have an older set I can try to swap them out, to see if that helps. Rich

Re: No Spark just cranking Hi Y-Blockhead, I did rub an Emory board through them, and checked continuity with a meter to ensure they are closing.

Re: No Spark just cranking Hi Katy, Yes counter-clock wise and the points are opening and closing as the cam turns. Thanks, Rich

Hello Again! Motor last ran 15 some odd years ago. New battery, Positive ground, Polarized the Generator. Replaced lower dist. plate due to broken wire. New condenser and coil. Cranks fine, gas is OFF, confirming spark. Tested voltage at the points, both coil...

@ old31, Thank you, yes, I already have the gauge out of the tank. @Herb Concord Ca I'll try the vice again, it keeps popping out or rotating when I tighten the vice. Rich

Hello, Can anyone suggest how to remove the old float? Should I try to un-crush the rod with a pair of pliers or Dremel off the crushed part and solder the washer to the wire? Thanks, Rich

Can you measure from the front of the front brake shoe to the rear of the back brake shoe and compare both sides this would help determine if the brake shoes are causing the problem. Take the shoes off and see if the drum will go on.

Hello, I am in search of the panel that goes under the visor for my 29 Briggs 60c. This panel must have the indents 12" from each end to fit between my header and windshield hinge. I have included pictures showing the indents in my header and windshield hinge for your reference. Please send...
