Thank you Tony - I'll give that a try this morning.
Much appreciated,

If necessary you can leave one on and have someone hold the other to it or held together removed, be resourceful. If its the BR the car will now start. You don't want to continue running it for a long peorid of time but at least you will know if that is your problem. OR, if you have a meter you can check continuity between the two post. There will be some resistance if it is good, if it is bad it will show no resistance or an open. With the key on one wire will have battery voltage to ground the second will show around 10 volts to ground. I'm certain I will be corrected on the secondary voltage, it is just a guess off the top of my head. I think its suppose 9.8 . Hope this helps, you will have more methods of testing as others respond but connecting the two wires together by passes the BR and the engine will start IF it is the problem. Good luck. If that's not the problem, remove the cap and make sure the points are breaking.

I'm currently finishing up the restoration on my Tiger and went to move it outside today to create space in the garage to work on the seats. The car started fine, as it always does. But, then it acted as if it were running out of gas and stalled. I checked and I do have gas, the fuel pump is working and gas squirts in the carb. the problem appears to be on the ignition side. It will fire and sputter here and there, but won't run fully. I'm running stock ignition with points. The distributor, coil and ignition wires are new. I did not replace the ballast resistor - it appears to be original equipment. Is there a chance it could be failing? What are the symptoms and is there a good way to test? I realize diagnosis over the internet is difficult, but a couple ideas for me to check would be great. I'm hoping to enjoy a few Fall days in the Tiger before snow flies!
