[Public-List] no Ignition?

[Mike Lehman]

Coils fail a lot - they are cheap and easy to replace. It is a good idea to 
have a spare coil on board at all times.

We launched Kilwinning #446 on the weekend an when I tried to start the 
engine it just turned over and didn't fire.  We were out of the country for 
the last 3 summers so something has changed?  I can't get a spark from the 
plugs or directly from the coil.
I cleaned the distributer cap and replaced the condensor.  I am afraid of 
playing with the points.  The points look Ok to me?  I have 13+ voltage to 
the coil and points.
My guess is that the coil is defective?  Does that make any sense??  I am 
trying to get a mechanic but they all seem to be independedly wealthy and I 
am anxious to start sailing!
