I retested for spark,and got spark on the top cylinder only. Next I pulled the flywheel and the mag plate assm.(fun job on this motor) for testing on the work bench. Coils appear new (China Zhongfad #512154) and have been rubbing on the flywheel. They were not adjusted for proper clearances. Condensers also appear new. Points are used.I used the Merc O Tronic to test, coils ok, points ok, condensers ok. I found plug wire spike connector on the end of the bottom cyl . to be rusted. Clipped off 1/4 inch of the wire and buffed the rust off and reinstalled the spike and plug boot. Then reassembled the mag. and intalled mag. and flywheel. adjusted coil air gap. Checked point gap and reset bottom cyl. points had only .010 , set to .020 . Retested for spark and have spark now on both cyls.
