My 300 was converted to 12V before I bought it. Looks like a normal alternator, must have built in regulator since the original is bypassed. Well it wouldn't start the other day. Battery seemed strong since it turned starter over pretty well, but I guessing it's the original starter. Fuel is good, but no spark at the plugs or coming out of the coil. Checked the coil and it only had a little over 5 volts, looks like it has a dropping resistor. I'm charging the battery since it only showed about 12.0 volts. I've heard you need a strong battery for the coil to work, think the low voltage on the battery is the problem? Or is the points or condenser? How do you check points, just make sure they are clean and opening the correct gap? What next if the battery is not the problem? Thanks for the help.
