Well having a tough time starting 29 A. Tried it this morning for first time in a while and ran for about 5 seconds then nothing. I have to own up to something I used a 12 volt charger because it was cold. Now it seems I have no spark at spark plugs unless I am not grounding them correctly. How can I check coil spark? I do have sparking at points when cap is off and ignition on. I have put in new coil, points, condenser and plugs. I notice the 2 points "post" or where they both meet for spark do not line up very well. Anyway can I take coil wire and check it for spark?
