[Public-List] Ignition??

[Jacques Dusseault]

Thank you George, Mike and John for your initial advice. I have tried to
follow it. I also ordered a new coil, points, condenser and distributer cap
from Moyers. The only thing we didn’t change where the points although we
measured the gap and checked their condition. They looked and seemed to
function perfectly when we rotated the engine. In removing the old coil I
discovered that the wire into the coil was badly corroded. It fell apart
when I removed it. I then ordered a complete set of wires from Moyers. I
expected that this would quickly solve my problem. They finally arrived on
Friday and Sunday, I and a friend of mine replaced the coil and the wire to
the distributer. To our surprise the engine did not fire. We then tested all
the current flows in all the wires??? There is electricity to the coil but
we can’t get either the wire from the coil or the spark plugs to spark. We
are missing something somewhere, but we can’t figure what it is. It seems
that we might need a Devine Intervention or one of the Alberg members to
help us figure it out?? I am also trying to get a mechanic with some
experience out to take a look. The ignition system is so basic how can it
not work??????? We were already late getting into the water this year and
the way it is going we will be ready to sail by winter??

Thanks in advance for your help!
