pfrederi 18,705 #2 Posted March 6, 2016 With the ignition switch in the run position check to see if you have 12 volts at the small + terminal on the coil. You can use a multimeter or if yu do not have one a 12v light bulb and some wire to make a test light. If you do have voltage then try cleaning the points. No voltage may be a switch or wire issue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
