: Have no spark to plugs changed distributer and coil. voltage goes into coil but no spark at plugs. Any suggestions? I ran into the same problem w/ mu Ferguson TO-20, a cousin of the 8N. I had spark out of the coil wire, but nothing at the plugs, out of a pretty new distributor cap/rotor. Closer examination w/ a circuit tester revealed a dark glaze on the distributor posts where the lightning strikes from the rotor. I worked on these for a long time w/ emery cloth, then carefully cleaned off the posts w/ paint thinner. Though the probe of my test light would not show dependable continuity over the discolored area, it was good enough to run the tractor. I posted this as a question yesterday and have seen no responses. Good luck!
