I left the ign on overnight and killed the battery. New battery, cranks but won't start.
Also had the Q jet off for a rebuild at the same time. I doubt its a fuel issue since even
with a gulp of petrol down the Q jet, not so much as a cough. I'll sort out the fuel side later.
I get 12V at the coil with the igniton on- should it be lower? I'm assuming a reistance
wire should be dropping the voltage to 7 or so volts.?
Get 12 V at the points. Coil fires a spark when cranking, not huge, but it's there.
Coil is a Delco-Remy- looks ancient so I assume it's original. Could I have damaged the condensor and/or coil? Like I said, the coil sparks. Gave the points a clean, have continutity across them when closed.
My thoughts are to try another coil from my collection tonight.
Any help is most welcome & appreciated. I'd buy you a beer but Australia is quite a drive away. Even in a Buick.
