Having parked by stock 1934 in the garage 3 weeks ago I went to start it up today and No go -the motor spins but no fire .. The only thing I have done is fit some LED taillights and had the ignition on to check flasher was working, My first thought was, even though I was careful , that I left it on to long and burnt the coil out , However before I pull the coil I checked voltage at the coil . With a fully charged battery and obviously a cold resistor I'm getting 2.9 volts which I think is low . I have has some intermittent missing when hot which I have been chasing and thought I had fixed. Before I pull the coil should it run with 2.9 volts at the coil? Could this fit with a faulty resistor ?
Some advice for this electrically challanged guy would be appreciated -Karl
