Mike-

You really need to be posting this on the main forum. The 129 is a qualifying IH garden tractor and you should get more replies.

Just an FYI

Oops, I guess I should have paid more attention to the other replies, I don't see where to delete my reply .These are pretty straight forward, if you have no spark after heat induced and power to the coil exists, check power at points in "open" position if you have power check for spark at points while cranking thus you most likely have a failed coil or condenser.
