You're gonna love this one: (Sorry, I'm trying to see if I know how to post in this forum). What's the chance that the wire from the coil to the points is grounding out? There's so many variables that we have to go back to K.I.S.S. (and I hate to do that on my first post).
Maybe my first post here IS a good place to go.
I think that went quite well, thank you.
