Thanks again. Although I do have a pump, I’m leaning against it.

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate it.

Does anyone have any experience with Evans waterless coolant?

Thanks to all again

I think I’ll try lightbulb test next.

Being new to this, I feel like I’m chasing problems in circles (which I assume is normal). I won’t give up and when I have new information or results, I’ll post them.

Thanks to all who have answered. One coil is a new rebuilt, but the other three have been in there since the 80s (but not being driven). I have no idea what they are adjusted to. It sounds like a good idea that I should pull them and have them all checked.

Thanks again.

Thank you to all who have responded. I’ll try some of these ideas.

I tried to attach photos but failed. Yes, there is a little lead pad.

It will not run on magneto at all. How does the magneto post and pin work? I’m not sure if the probl...
