all in one week it went from starting easily to nearly impossible to start when warm and now to unable to start at all.
just a fyi, i've ordered the pamco ignition system and it will be here friday, but i still want to know what my issue is.
i'm pretty sure it's ignition related, but what and how do i check?
i've got power at the coils and points when open. checked point gap.
i also checked for spark when kicking it. its daylight, but it sparks, but not much. i've read that it should be very obvious spark.
how do i check the coils, condensor and points to make sure they work correctly? and what should they read when i check them?
tks

New plugs and get back to us. I've found that the plugs go south quickly and it's cheap to throw a new set in before you go changing a bunch of stuff. Also is the battery at full charge? Kick or electric start?
