Poor terminology on my part, the points wire was replaced with a wire just running around the engine to the points. It was red 12 ga stranded wire. I wanted to replace it properly, with black wire. So I used 14ga, which is what appears to be on my 1200. But, the first one went out before I replaced it.

*What voltage do you have at the battery when the engine is running? It would be nice to know a voltage at both an idle, and WOT.
|
Have not checked, but can probably do so tonight, if not I'll check tomorrow. Having said that, it was dead when it died last time, wouldn't even engage solenoid. Recharged and it wouldn't fire up, that's when I checked the coil.

*Where is the condenser mounted? (And) Is it hooked to the same terminal on the coil as the points wire?
|
Yes, on negative side, bolted on top bolt of coil mount.

*What brand and part number is the coil you are using?

This one

Brand on box is BBT. I can get the P/N tonight, I believe I kept the box. First coil has no markings other than +/- on top posts.
