yah I need to stay as low budget as possible on this, fixing it for a guy I know. so cdi conversion wouldn't be preferred. I got spark back on one cylinder again, found when I soldered the wires to the new condensers I didn't do a very good job. so I pulled the whole stator off the engine and redid ...

so I just replaced the condensers. the points I ordered are not the right ones...go figure. put everything back together and now I have now spark at all... does anyone have a fully assembled and working stator for a 73 piston port ccw kec 440 engine that they would want to sell.. ive about had it wi...

I swapped the wires coming from the points going to the external ignition coils and sparked switched cylinders. so I knew the external coils were fine. doesn't matter what plugs I used, same results. I did not rotate the stator from its original location, so I should have no timing issues. I have be...

the condensers are soldered to the wires, so I cant just switch them.. I pulled everything apart again tonight and checked for anything grounding out. pulled everything off the stator plate and cleaned thoroughly. put everything back together and still no spark on the mag side. I tested both condens...

how do I test the condenser for a grounded condition? I'm going to try to clean the points a bit more.. I am having a hell of a time finding anyone that sells the correct points and condenser for this thing. can you guys point me in the right direction?

i am working on a 73 john deere 600. is got the piston port ccw 440 engine. points ignition. I only have spark on the pto side cylinder. I swapped the wires coming from the stator to the coils and spark changed sides. so I know the coils and plug wires are good. I ohm tested both of the upper igniti...

hey guys, I am rebuilding a 1973 john deere 600 ccw, non reed valve engine for a local guy. the bore size is 68mm. all I can find for pistons is for the 66mm reed valve motor. I'm at a dead end. can anyone tell me where I can get 2, 68mm pistons and rings for this sled? the ones in the engine now ar...
