Thought thats what I said, if it wasn't its what I meant.



My thoughts were that Mike was still using the '12' volt coil, but, upon re-reading his post it appears that he has not switched back to '6'v. So maybe/probably my thinking is/was backwards. Regardless I think he should check the voltage to his points and go from there. If the voltage is correct then there could be a condenser capacity issue.
