Hi David,



 It's a bad ground.

When you feel you have achieved spiritual clarity get out your
multimeter and check the battery ground first and then the points.

I can't disagree that you should do a good analysis prior to attempting a
fix but if the problem was a bad ground wouldn't there be other other
indicators like other electrical devices not working?

 Coils do fail but not as often as you might think.

Agreed but when they do the symptoms of the failure are very obvious. I had
two failures (one on my bike and the other in my 64 Valiant). In each case
the symptoms were almost identical.

I'm off to the National........we can beat this issue to death there :-)

See you all there!!!

Ian
