      I had weak spark and eratic spark. Replaced the condenser cleaned and put points back together. No spark at all now. I may have installed condenser wire and coil wire wrong.There are spacers and insulators on that screw that hold it all together. Does anyone have a diagram of how it goes? ohms between points wire and plug wire .6. Please help.

        Regarding the points, the “contact” halve that has the insulators, should not be grounded
        to the mag plate when the points are open, when you check with your meter.
        If there are, the insulators are not in the right places.

        The primary wire from the coil, and condenser lead, both go the points, and sometimes
        a “kill switch” wire as well.
        Usually there’s some kind of shorter wire from the coil that grounds to the
        mag plate.

        Prepare to be boarded!
