Good battery, new points, proper gap, new condenser, good cap and rotor. It ran fine a month ago on a freashly re-built engine. For 2 days I've tired to get good spark at the points. Just a weak spark is all I get. Voltage drop from battery is only 1/10 volt at points. Spark at plugs is weak too. I cleaned the ground and used a new terminal. The power side of the battery (positive ground system) gets a new terminal tomorrow. All I can think is that I have a huge voltage loss someplace. If the terminal doesn't help I'm looking at the ignition switch and all the other wiring and the coil. I checked and repaired the insulator where the power comes into the ditributor. This is a JD 1010 crawler loader. A bad coil wouldn't affect the spark at the points right? It gets awfully warm. Any ideas? I'm getting frustrated.
