I don't know if you have your problem solved yet or not, but ignition coils can be a real headache at times. They may work and run for a short time or may not work at all. When they heat up a little they expand from heat and cause internal failure. So it would have to be checked after engine stopped to see if it was a bad coil. Also, the condenser inside the distributor can cause similar problems. I just fixed that problem on my Dad,s old 8N. He had put in a complete new tune-up kit in the distributor trying to fix his problem such as yours. Unfortunately he received a bad condenser in his kit and never found the problem before he passed away. By the way, I had spark at cold cranking with this problem. But the longest time I was ever able to keep this tractor running was 20 seconds maximum if it would even start. Ether would help to get it started sometimes. Hope this helps, if not, then I'm sorry to have taken up your time. Rick
