[QUOTE="Loggerhead Mike, post: 50617, member: 774"] if you have access to a test light (there inexpesive at the auto store) hook it to the end of the coil and have somebody turn the motor. even better, if you have a friend with a multi meter you could test the resistance in the condensor-coils-wires-caps. the spark should be nice and blue and visable in daylight, any other color indicates a week spark. you can also try turning it over at night, and you'll see if you have a spark jumping from the wire to head or ect. electricity will travel the least resistant path. are your plugs gap'd correctly?
