Sorry for the delay in responding I was measuring between the ground wire attached to the armature and the secondary out put to the spark plug wire. If I measure between the “Maverake” spark suppressor and the secondary output to the spark plug wire I get about 7.5 K on both coils. I get no spark from either coil when turning motor over with cordless drill. I have removed filed and polished both sets of points and gaped correctly. I also soldered new spark plug wires to the secondary’s The “Rest of the story is this” I originally had about a 1/4″ spark on both coils before I did any work to the magneto other than running sandpaper between the points.
The core pole pieces of the armature were touching the rotor. I gapped them to the correct value. Summary is I screwed something up? Also I ordered two used KD 20 coils from Lloyd Lautner before I read your post. Not sure they will work without the spark suppressor?
Probably replied to wrong post ?
