1. How many wires on the coil and where do they go? Be specific.
2. Is this still a 6V truck or has someone converted it completely to 12V.
3. Sounds like you already know how to crank it.
4. Do you have a foot start or a dash mounted push button or a key start? I know you have a key switch/ignition switch. Some are just on/off. Some have a spring loaded start position.
5. I'll tell you how to wire the ignition after these questions are answered.
6. What brand of what? do we suggest?
7. Did it fire after the last work you did to it? After the last parts you added? Make sure you know what "fire" means.
8. When you said points and reducer, did you mean points and condenser?...or a voltage reducer?

"It fires but it’s like it’s not getting fuel to actually start." Don't give your analysis or folks will go off on a tangent using your analysis. If it fires it has spark and some gas. Not ready to decide what is wrong until we know what is wrong. We all have our guess right now but further info from you will narrow. All we need is your careful answers. Answer the questions in order to maintain order.

Stop trying to start it. Stop swapping parts. If in neutral, you don't need to push clutch.


Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it. - William Penn
