I bypassed the ballast resistor and no change. I also have power on both side of the coil and the points are firing.<br>
On the fuel side, the accelerator pump seams to be functioning fine and delivering gas properly (new carburetor as well). I'll dig a little deeper on the fuel side of things too. I also wonder about the coil. Although it is new, it came from Orielly Auto Parts and I have had items like this fail from there before. Thoughts?<br>
