I have a 2n I use to bushhog a grass field. It has been runing fine for about 3 years. A few weeks ago I started having an intermittenant start problem. I replaced the points and condenser and now it will not start. The old coil was cracked I noticed so I put another coil on it I had. (I also tried a new coil which did not help either). I am pretty sure I put everythign together right, there is a picture in my manual I got from TSC. The gap is .015. (Slight drag with this feeler guage.) The problem is definitely no spark.

This is converted to 12 volts. I fixed it last night. The condenser terminal was touching the base of the distributor, shorting everythign out. I moved the terminal a little and all is ok.


Someone said these 2ns are worth something if they have origional wheels? How do you tell?
