53 Jubilee, 6V
was running well after VR tweak, when after 2 weeks of no use found battery dead. Ignition *not* left on. Battery charged, no start. Clearly no spark.
spark plug wire into top of coil -> no spark
voltage on battery side of coil, points open or shut: 6V
Voltage on distributor side of coil: 6V points open, 4.5 V points closed.
Voltage on points: 6V open, 0V closed.
if I manually open and close the points, occasional weak orange spark across the points when I open them.
When engine cranking , no sparkies seen across the points.
Swapped in known good 6V coil -> no spark
Where shall I turn next?
thanks in advance.
