WheelHorse_of_course 99 #2 Posted August 18, 2009 Not the voltage regulator. Put a test lamp or voltmeter from the non-points side of the coil to ground. This should be on, even when the points are closed (it may get dimmer when the point close). Run the engine and watch the light. If, when the engine stalls it goes off that mean a bad wire from the Ignition switch, or possibly a bad wire to the ignition switch from the battery. Also check your ground from the (-) side of the battery. :thumbs2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
