back again, just to let you know that the engine started with the  old points, I just took an earth wire to ground (direct to battery) turned on ignition and engine started and ran ok

i now have a few other problems but that is for another forum on where to get parts like tinware and a breather cover

 so thanks for now

 see you all shortly

thanks to every body for their info. I just got my points today, and am just about to fit them, but when checking round coil fixings and condenser i found out that the condenser was not connected to earth, problem being that the mounting points have been cracked and broken, the cowl needs some repair around this point , i will earth with a cable for now and either weld cowl or look for another one will let you know later on how i ggot on

sorry  for that. I had to rewire machine as per c141 wiring diagram, and wired direct without safety switches which were either broke or not working, i have now the cranking side of it sorted out ,now it is just the spark, the points are cra cked at the button in the point that makes the spark , the points and condenser have probably not been changed since this machine was made in 78 or 79 .it is a kohler k321 14hp engine on a c141 8 speed tractor

thank  you for your reply.the solenoid is no the original one , this one has 4 terminals one for the switch connection , the other tab connection is for the earth, the mounting bracket is not earthed, my problem was all wires being ate by cattle before i got machine, i

thanks for your reply , have ordered a set of points, condenser, will let you kow how i get on when i get them

thanks for your info. 

can you recommend someplace where i can get these items  , as most places on ebay seem to be from america with extortionate postage

hello folks  

aint been on for a while , tried to start my wheelhorse c141 today, had problems with solenoid , would not even click untill I ran an earth wire from solenoid  terminal to earth, 4 terminal solenoid, after this i got the engine tor turn over quite quickly, i then set the points but got no spark points opening and closing but no spark could it  be the condensor or coil or both , by the way my points have a crack in the insulation just at the movable point , could this be the problem  also 

any help in this matter would be very helpful asI would lik to get this machine going again to toe  my car trailer about the yard
