Unclear, what you wrote. Be more specific. 6 Volt system? This Cub is positive or negative ground? Where exactly are you measuring this voltage? From + on coil to ground? From - on coil to ground. What side of coil goes to the switch? Assuming a 6 volt system, whatever the polarity, you should have 6 volts (it may read + or - depending on polarity) to ground at the coil terminal that leads to the ignition switch with the key on and the breaker points open. You should have 6 volts at that same spot with breaker points closed. You should see 6 volts across the 2 coil terminals with breaker points closed and zero volts across the coil terminals with breaker points open. There are many things to look for. The feed from bat to switch may be bad, the switch may be bad (jumper across it) the wire from switch to coil may be bad, the wire from coil to points may be bad (look for a short to ground where it passes into the distributor), the points may be closed shut, the condensor may be shorted to ground, the coil may be shorted internally.
