The spark did not follow. 🙁 That would have made the issue less maddening.
Swapped points and made sure they were gapped correctly and mated up well. They would spark on one side but not the other. How can I tell if the non-sparking side is grounding or shorting out?
The flywheel is not hitting the coil itself – it is actually hitting the armature plate. I tried moving the coil back and that had no impact. I then was able to see through the point inspection hole that it was hitting a portion of the armature plate itself. That’s when I figured the key may have moved.
Regarding the crank being bent – I don’t think that is it. We did not have an issue initially with the flywheel hitting the armature plate. I don’t think we did anything that could have bent the top of the crank.
