Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it. I think I will just replace the condenser and maybe even the points as well. I will update once they come in. Thanks guys 👍
Here is an update on my situation. The coils are replaced, both points are cleaned and have no pitts in them. They are also properly gapped. However when I switched the condensers, the motor does not start. This means that one condenser doesn't work. But I am confused as to why it doesn't start...
I replaced the coils last week, does this mean they are faulty or can this result from the condensers? I cleaned the point gaps which did not fix the issue.
Thanks for the help. The wires on the coil were resistive wires before but I replaced them recently with copper core. I will recheck the wire for any cracks, and anywhere it may jump to ground.
The resistance is steady 9.3 kohms on the top, while the bottom one is not steady and jumps all over the place when moving the mag plate and twisting the plug wire. Have not tested the gap yet. What does this mean?
The spark plug wires were replaced. However I believe that the spark plug threads are worn down. Could this cause any issues with the bottom cylinder not lighting?
