Re: no spark

My problem was two-fold (on here right now checking how to change the ignition switch)....

The condenser was bad, as well as the ignition switch.

Disconnect the wire that runs power to the dizzy, check it w/a multimeter in 'run', then watch the meter and put it in 'start'. Mine went from 12.63V to .86V. If there's a huge voltage drop, try running a jumper from the battery to the dizzy. If it starts, it's the switch. If it doesn't, try changing the condenser.

I've been at it for the last week and a half, and just got it to run about 20 minutes ago...I'll wait till tomorrow to tackle the ignition switch.
