After I removed the Petronix and installed a plate in the Dist with new points and condensor the motor will crank but not fire. There is gas going to the carbs.
Here is what I have done so far:
Checked to see if the hole on the crank pulley matched up with the pointer when # 1Cyl was at TDC on compression stroke.
Rotor pointing to #1.
Turned dist till points just opened on cam. Instead of centering the vernier scale I turned the knurled knob in all the way in direction of retard then backed it towards Advance one section on the vernier scale which I believe to be 4 degrees......or 1/2 a turn? I then turned the motor a bit till the points were at the top of the cam and set the gap at .015
Wires and cap are new....plugs are used but still good....going to try new ones tomorrow.
Getting spark at the plug wires when grounding them against the block?
Strong spark from Coil when grounded to block.
There dosn't seem to be a good spark when I manually pull the points apart???
Any ideas where I went wrong?
Could the new Condensor be bad?
