Have you checked your "New" battery with a hydrometer??? The reason I ask IS we went through 5 "new" 6V batteries (O"'Riely's) BEFORE we found "1" good one!!! You can get a "new" battery with a low to bad cell!!!! Just sayin'. I never got to the battery "gettin" place for a new 6V battery without my hydrometer.
ALSO, as Michael at Third Gen said, have your distributor set up on a Sun Machine....He can do it OR IF you like you can send it to me and I can run it on my Sun for you!!!
