distributor help
I tried to start my m-37 the other day after it sat for 9 months,it backed fired out the exhaust a few times,almost got it running,but it just would not run.We tried again a few days later but no luck [also no backfire] Checked for spark[pulled plug and grounded to head but no spark] Do i have to pull distributor to check coil,or can i pull just the cap off to do points and condersor,how would i check the coil?,thanks,Tony

Para 93 TM9-8030 give you all the procedures to check your coil. They have you remove the distributor...it makes life easier...

Sitting for 9 months is most likely corrosion on the points that is the issue, rub them lightly with fine sandpaper. Be sure to clean off residue, then set the gap to .020". I doubt you have a coil problem.
