Got an original points ignition. I replaced the condenser and points, set the points, but no spark ... or no lights for that matter.

I checked for continuity and it all seems fine.

I couldn't find any time on how to measure points stators and the ht coil. Any ideas of what to look for and what values to aim for?

And yes, check the spark plug lead, plug cap and used different spark plugs ...

long shot
the points screw is shorter than the condenser screw......if you mix them up the long one hits the sator....no spark

The points on my smallie need to be LESS than 0.3......at around 0.5 there is NO spark......O.3 farts a tad........a wee bit under 0.3 and its a screamer

sooooooo try a very small gap using your eye.

It may be the spark plug.....or the plug cap...get new ones so you KNOW for sure they are Not the issue .

good luck
