Ok - what am I missing ? finished my refurbish of the '78 ( I thought ), on upstart it would not start.
After some measuring i realized the left coil was dead - no resistance on the secondary loop, consequently no spark!
replace with a working coil - this time i measure both right and left coil - got same readings both side. Check for spark - right side beautiful spark - left side no spark !
all wiring are original to the year/model, thus fairly simple. Am i overlooking something ? have good connections ! could it be the condenser in the ignition loop?
any suggestions before i give up and replace the complete ignition with electronic (which i have considered in spite of the cost)
oh if i do go electronic which do you guy thinks the best fit with the least modifications ?
