You were right! I sided with the mild 8n tractor "experts" at first, because I wanted to be safe, who said that coil is to hot, however, the "hold my beer" 8n members said run that dragster Accel. It became quite the debate on the Ford tractor forum...haha. I'm running the hot coil...I told you not to mess with that wiring!
I bet that did get heated. Wonder what's down stream from the coil that needs the extra power.
I don't know. The thing it can do is burn points. I thought about putting the milder coil in for a test. Problem is it's a bit of a pain and I'm learning that even though the tractors were all built to the same specs, over years of use they seem to develop an individual liking for this or that, that another one may not like.
Yep, they made all kinds of attachments. It was kinda like a Dremel. Does everything except hammer. I hear a lot of 8n owners say it's not the best for digging holes because it doesn't have enough power to overcome rocks or roots and gets stuck.
I have a new "no external resister" coil. When I put it in the engine didn't act as spunky, but yes, burning points is an issue with the hot coil.
What is the battery voltage with the engine running? Voltage regulator out of spec.?
Didn't hit reply for the voltage regulator reply. I wonder if the new 12v ignition switch thats on it has some sort of resister?
