    Are you by any chance in the Pacific Northwest?

    Okey dokey. I was just curious if even though it works this way it was better like your diagram.

    JMOR, I was comparing the wiring diagram you sent to the one supplied with my conversion kit. I did notice one difference. Mine says to connect one side of the ignition switch to the resistor, as does yours, but mine says to connect the other switch wire to the neg side of ammeter. I realize it...

    I won't pretend I got all that but I do think I got the bottom line. Thanks again for all your help.

    I mean it this time,one last question. What is your advice on the resistor? To review I have used an 8NE10306 for 25 years per the instructions for my 12V conversion kit. The resistor that came with my kit gave out last year and I replaced with another 10306. Switch to 12250A or stay the course...

    Thank you. One final question for future reference. When we did the resistance check on the coil what kind of results would have perked your interest. Targets were 2-2.25 primary and 6-8k secondary. I think that is correct use of those terms.

    OK, call me a moron if you must. Here is my story and I'm sticking to it. When I was writing my last post about the good 12V light test I thought to myself "why didn't I take the extra 5 seconds and check the switch side as well" so I could give you the complete picture. Went back out, not 10...

    OK. NO start but some progress. When I was putting everything back together the only new thing I did was add a couple washers to the solenoid stud on the ell bracket that was smoking the other day. The threads were damaged at the bottom preventing a good tightening. Tried to start it, caught at...

    That could be a challenge, but we'll give it go after breakfast.

    Since you enjoyed my "will it kill me" question so much maybe this pic of my Coil/Cap test will do the same. Surprisingly did get a spark at all four positions. 3 was a bit temperamental but I think that was due to too large a gap. When got within 3/16" to a 1/4" all seemed to spark. After I was...

    Aren't you the comedian. Anyway did the coil only test. Got a spark at both coil tab and points at all four spots. Haven't done the test with the cap on yet. Going to go try and set it up now.

    Congrats! Hope I can be so lucky. Don't know if you checked out my stream or not. If you do and have suggestions I'm all ears. Unfortunately I removed my tool box years ago!
