Ignition question
I am in the process of troubleshooting my ignition system due to a running rich condition. After setting the point gap and timing I check for spark when opening the points. I do get a spark at the points but I also hear a spark in the area of the coil or terminal box. I don't find any loose connections. I do not have the coil high tension lead in place. Where would this spark be occurring? Thanks. Howie

Re: Ignition question
It's probably jumping from the secondary to one of the primary terminal,
you should have the coil wire about 1/4" from the head. Bob |

Re: Ignition question
Easy for you to say. For me to do that I'd have to wait till winter!
