Background: I am not good with electrical stuff. Its a 1978 with points and original coils. Bought the bike with the advance rod, points, weights etc in a box. Not running do to being an unfinished project. I finally got all the small missing pieces and attempted to assemble everything last night. I am pretty sure everything is correct, I've read a fair amount here on the forum.
My question is, could the spark problem be due to the points being incorrect? I assume the brushes on the rotor couldn't be the problem because my spark issue is only on one cylinder? I am leaning to a coil problem because the spark switched sides when I switched the coil wires. I am going to Ohms test the coils when I have time.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
