"A" won't start. This is what I've done so far.
Key off...power on both sides of coil
Key on...power on one side of coil
verified point gap and spark at points.
Key on and turning over the motor the AMP would move between - and +
checked and rechecked timing.
Checked filters in carb and firewall bowl. Carb filter was clean as was the firewall filter
Turned over with full choke. Gas in throat.
During trouble shooting did the following:
Replaced fuel line as ferule at the carb was back a ways from end.
Replaced carb with spare from Berts
Replaced condenser
Replaced coil with known good one.
Verified dizzy body was good by verifying continuity.
STILL NO CONTINUOUS INTERRUPTED SPARK
Took it to the club A mechanic. He hooked up his meter and firing light after verifying all connections and gaps etc.
With key on and turning over the light would fire once then nothing. After waiting a couple minutes we do it again. Same result. Light lights once then nothing. He also did a similar test at the points. When shorting the points he got one spark then nothing.
It's almost like there's a marginal wire that is broken or cracked but touching when cold then after a jolt of power opens until it cools down again?. THIS IS OVER MY HEAD AT THIS POINT. I'm heading over to his shop now to try again. The only thing we haven't done is take the popout out of the circuit although it appeared to be fine. The AMP was at 0 then -3/4 with popout on.
When I get back (it will be late) I'll post results if any. Hopefully I can post the fix. If not I'm open to suggestion of things we missed.
Stay Tuned.
