Farmall Cub

I know many have been assisting me and following my delima on "no fire".
Well, sometimes it is best to just walk away and come back later. That is
exactly what I did.

I took Jonn's and Bigdog's suggestions and went back to basics and re-checked everything with the VOM. Points; P-o-i-n-t-s, those "POINTS"
they were new out of the box but when I re-tested no continunity through
the contacts. It looked like they were coated with some type of lacquer or
other substance. I burnished and turned the engine over about two
revs and, GW runs.

Thanks guys for all the help

Congrats!

Chalk up another one to bad parts out of the box! It seems you hear a lot of that any more. Congratulations Russ. See you next week!

Were those points IH, Made in China, or both?

I think most IH ignition components come from Mexico now.

They were genuine IH made in , well, you know south of the Border.

I try to use the GM approach, "Keep your CUB all IH" and stick to IH parts
whenever possible. It maybe just a local thing but I have found, believe it
or not, that almost all parts are less expensive at my IH dealer than parts
houses.

Thanks again everyone.

From experience, I say original parts IH for sure.
Especially for the carb rebuild kits, and gaskets.

"It looked like they were coated with some type of lacquer or

CORONA OR TEQUILA,...... maybe

Russ, I was glad to hear you got Guy Walker/G.W. started. I'll see you Sunday afternoon for another great episode of "rescue rangers".
