I'm lost here. new points, condenser, coil. the 2 of them done at different times.
the spark is their but super weak. what was done... new crank seal (still leaks) timing set to .035* Before TDC,
points set to. .020 tried new old stock condensers new aftermarket condensers. the magnets are strong ''composite'' type.
the coils are aftermarket and the original. I've worked on these all my life. and remember you could get a spark jump 1/2"
pretty easily. now I have to crank the engine with a hand drill at high speed to get a good spark. so, a pull cord will not cut it.
what am I missing??? I need this to run. it's for an MDT with a slanted engine plate and diaphragm carburetor.
which is working good for a change.
I made some governor shaft bushings that worked out very well thanks to the post here, Thanks to all for the help!
PS. where can one buy reliable parts. I'm very suspect of aftermarket stuff on Ebay.
