Default Re: Coil bad?

Do not replace anything until you have verified its fault. What is the voltage on each side of the coil when the points are closed? Should be battery on one side, very near ground on the other. I think you'll find its not being grounded properly through the point/switch circuit. Clean and set point clearance.
