Maybe it started better because when the former owner switched to negative ground they didn't change the polarity of the coil. So when you switched to pos. groung the coil worked as intended. I think Purdy is giving you good advise; neg. ground won't hurt abit.

My A is in pieces, almost back together. It didn't have any wiring so I put all that in, had the generator checked because I had no idea. It checked fine except it was polarized neg ground. I had the Generator guy put it back to pos ground. I almost had the wiring done, was checking my turn signals and the only way to get the flasher to work right (the indicator bulb on the handle) was to hook it up neg ground. So I switched wires on my coil, re-flashed the gen and switched the amp gauge wires. I will be running neg ground.
