    Timing is set with a timing tool & a DMM…..they’re both about as close to correct as I can get them.

    Cranking over: Right now the motor is on a stand, not the boat. The switches (momentary start, maintained choke, maintained kill) are separate individual switches, mounted on a plate on my engine stand, so I can simulate the keyswitch. Still just trying to get things right; not ready to mount the engine on the boat yet.

    I thought about a coil having too high a resistance, but I came to the same conclusion: the points should still be grounding out.

    This shouldn’t be happening. And if I have to pull this flywheel one more time, I’m gonna scream! 🙂

    I’ll dig into it tomorrow night. Tonight is Notheastern vs. BU for the beanpot championship. My eyes will be on the TV screen, not the engine. (anyone else into college NCAA men’s hockey?) Go Terriers!
