For those who didn't read the prior thread: 6V, pos ground, suddenly no spark after dead battery.
Following sounder's advice:
jumper from neg of battery to batt side of coil. Spark plug connected directly to wire from coil (no dizzy) and body of spark plug grounded via jumper cables to (+) on battery.
Grounding the dizzy side of the coil -> weak blue spark on the spark plug then fat orange spark when I unground the coil. What I'd expect, except wimpy spark.
Interestingly, if I do it again, a moment later -> no spark at all on the spark plug. but I still get the fat orange spark. If I wait for 5-10 min, I get the weak blue spark again.
I assume I should be able to just zap zap zap zap zap until I get bored of it, no?
This I think makes the coil the suspect.
However... will get a new ignition switch anyway as its likely original and likely to be flaky.
