Default Re: Frustration

Starting and charging are usually 2 different animals.

If the test light is flashing with the engine turning over/spinning then the circuit to the points and its ground should be fine, the engine should start. Well, the primary ignition circuit should be fine.

Ammeter. Does it work ? Does it show a discharge with the lights on ? Does it show a charge with the engine running a fast idle ?
