If the condenser goes bad(by shorting out),you'ld get no spark(same as the points being closed all the time) but it shouldn't blow the 15 amp fuse.
Normal coil---points system draws about 4 amps.
I'd put an ammeter in series to see how much current's being drawn,might have to 'bump' the starter a few times to close the points.
zero current being drawn could mean an open circuit or open coil.
A switch shorting out inside itself to ground can blow the fuse.That happens more than I care to recall with 'lawn tractors'.
Also check for some 'live' wire that's jiggled loose from where it should be and shorted to ground, had that happen once or twice.
Hopefully you've got a good wiring diagram! Just follow the power ,these tractpor's aren't too complicated !
Good luck
Jay
