Is there some way to bench test a coil in or out of the car?
I am restoring a BN1.(Positive ground) Motor and transmission back in car. New wiring harness. Car started up 2 times, car did not run great (timing off. Both points gap and timing.) Adjusted points gap. Tried to restart, car would crank, but would not start. Car getting fuel, no spark at points or spark plugs while cranking????? Tried with starting fluid would crank, but would not even try to start.
I have 12 volts to the coil, but nothing on the other side. CB terminal side, but not SW side when I crank???
I am guessing coil, but why did it start before and now won't?? What am I missing?? Coil wire is on coil and rotor cap.
Thank you,
Tod
