greetings youngsters!
still no luck...... I did mark the sides of the distributor - where the contacts on the cap are. Here is what I think is the problem. When the rotor passes that point where...
Thanks -you may be on to something as far as moving the wires around - keeping the order - I can’t wait to try that
I have been checking for spark by holding plug against the block and looking for...
thanks - I am starting to understand - I assume this concept work on old tractors - I also have a 50's International Harvestor tractor my son is working on - I am hoping I can use what I am learning...

Thanks for your patience - and sharing of knowledges

I got a new coil -same results....
Dumb question first - as I am getting readings with my bulb test across both sides of the coil - that power is gong to a the condenser and then to the rotor -...
good stuff - thanks!
I have tried putting my light bulb meter on that center well - and have not gotten a reading - it seems as if when the gap points are open - that should be giving a reading -...
I maybe confused - but there is not a coil wire that I can do what - I think that is inside the distribtor cap - this is a 24 volt waterproof system so all the wiring to the plugs is tightly sealed...
good morning and thanks guys - I reset the gap to .03 - apparently a bit more and I was getting constant power to both leads on the coil - that is my tester was showing light on both leads as I...
thanks!!!
.03 inch - I can't wait to try this - I think that is my problem - may be the weekend before I get back at it......
thanks guys!
I belive the gap at .02 is to small - going to go up to .03 and try the timing advice
I will report back -
thanks again!
I did check the gap - .02 inch - at the most open spot
Thanks - big time! I am learning -
so I belive this is a matter of the gap being to small and timing
see photos - showing power going to the coil when gaps are open and not when closed - new...
thanks!
I am use a light bulb and I do see an arc - so dose that mean I need to repalce the condenser?
that is a new rebuilt distributor - but I guess that dosen't mean the condenser is good
I'm back.....
OK - I finally got the distributor in - as everyone said it only goes in one way.....
I think I have it set somewhat right as far as timing - using a pencil in the plug hole and...
thanks- not sure I need to be commended - the cost of a new 12 volt everything seemed outway keep what I had
I will double check to see if anything is down the tunnel - but I think it is just that...
thanks guys!! good stuff
right now I can't seem to get the new distrubtor down the point where it end touches the slot in the oil pump - I am temped to take a rubber mallet tap the distrubutor with...
greeting and Happy new year
without going into to much detail on my M38 53 24 volt
I got new fuel pump, new distrubitor and plugs - I did get it started but it was rougth
I think - my...
Thanks - I will circle back on this topic - as the fuel pump has been removed and willl likely going to get a new or rebuit one - but good stuff!
Right now i am just trying to fire to the plugs -...
that makes sense - becasuse that assembly is water tight - I will need to see if I understand how that vacuum system is connect to the distributor
you guys have not idea what a novice i am -----...
I only have a tester that shows current and not the amount - I do have current going to the wire to the coil, but I have a gerrry rigged connection there - going to get that connection
thnaks - i do have the catalog and read your article - good stuff!
so - I have purchased the rebuilt destributor and coil unit, new plugs and wires for the 24 volt waterproof set up - $$$ - not...
thanks - I am going to see if I get a hold of your article
thanks - I took a look -that was a project! I feel a little better about what I have - but the appears to the same motor
I think I see if I can get the first part of the harness - I think it's...
