If the breaker is tripping you need an electrician to check wiring, pressure switch shouldn't be a problem. Don't try to work your way around electrical, always remember the unit will last longer if electrical is running properly to unit.
With points cover off,slowly bring engine to the highest point on the points cam.Its easiest to do this with the spark plug out,and slowly spin the engine with the kick start. Once you get it to the highest point on the points cam,the points should be "open". Insert feeler gauges untill you find the correct one...(it should have slight resistance). The check what the recommended gap is for that model. After finding the recomended gap,use the feeler gauge that matches the recomended gap,and isert between the points. There should be two screws,one on each end of the points. Loosen those two screws,and the body of the point will move,one way to "open": the gap,the other to "close" the gap. With feeler gauge between the points contact,close untill you feel slight resistance when moving the gauge back and forth,and tighten the set screws on the points body.
take your flywheel off then turn youe engine over while you watch the crank spin when the lobe on the crank moves the points to the hihest spot thats the point where you set them i think its like 10 or 12 mm
Hello Check your voltage at the pump,past the coil.if you have voltage then the motor bearings are worn or its open on thermal overload.Possible bad motor.
Also at the contactor check to see if it has themal overload protectors.
just because you put your hand on the wire doesn't mean its not getting spark, pull the plug wire off the plug,, insert a screw driver in the end of the plug wire (you'll need help with this,,) have a friend hold the screwdriver close to a bolt on the motor,, crank it over and see if you see spark , It should arc from the screwdriver to the bolt, ( it has to be very close to the bolt but not touching, if you see spark,, pull the plug,, attach the wire back on the sparkplug,, and repeat the same thing, Only place the tab of the plug next to the bolt,, spark = you have spark,, if not ,, replace the plug
The clicking you hear inside the little box is the contacts that send power to the pump. They have probably gotten corroded to the point they would not make contact. By kicking on and off you probably loosened some carbon, it was still making a poor connection and carboned up again. Only this time causing the points to stick open (so no clicking) You can take this switch apart and give it a good cleaning then reset the points. Or you can get a new switch and install it on the system. Ether way be sure that the power is off for these operations as this is all the power going to the pump.
Are you getting spark from both plugs when the engine is kicked over? If so, the points are working. How well they are working and the accuracy of the timing is another matter.
