Well, well, well. I was traveling around the points with the ohm meter and I was getting some strange readings. Sometimes the readings were good, sometimes not. I am thinking, what the heck! Being the thourough person I am, from my history of working on fighter jets, I decided to be better safe than sorry and take the entire plate off of the engine. This is kind of a hassle because ultimately, this is how the timing on the points occurs. The position of the plate, due to the fact that it is all mechanical, will have to be timed again upon installation. Well when I get the plate off, there is a broken wire behind it. A couple of strands were touching, hence the variable readings. This is the holy grail of why, when I was cranking the kick start in the previous video, there was nothing. I have a feeling we will be rolling soon, stay tuned!
