Default Re: Bypass ignition switch

What Kurt said!

I'd start by stopping the engine with the points open, then turn the key on and see if you have 6 volts at the movable points contact, then short the points with a screwdriver blade, and each time you remove the screwdriver you should have a spark out the coil wire held 1/4" from a head nut.

As Kurt said, most likely just needs the oxidation cleaned off the points.
