my  C-300 has been reluctant to start since I bought it back in 85 and  almost
countless hours have been spent on trying to make it better, plus I  have
learned a few tricks down the road too. 
 




Have you checked the ignition point gap/dwell?  The coil requires a  certain 
period of time to charge.  I had a small Ford tractor several years  ago, that 
ran pretty well, so I didn't fool with it when I bought it.   After a while, 
though, I did get around to checking the point gap and found that  the points 
were set pretty wide, which only allowed the points to tap closed for  a very 
short time.  I was amazed by the improvement in starting time and  the 
increase in overall power that resetting the point gap to the proper size  made!
 
Good luck with your problem, and let us all know what is finally found to  be 
the problem.
