I installed the pertronix ignitor into my 235 and the flamethrower coil and I checked my + terminal on coil and was getting 12.52 volts with the key on. So I removed the points and installed the pertronix ignitor unit with the black wire going to coil - terminal and red wire going to coil + terminal. After installation, the engine would only start if I gave it 1/2 to full throttle. As soon as I tried to idle it, the engine died. When I started with 1/2 throttle it was running really rough, like barely running. I removed the pertronix and put my points back in and it runs fine.
Has anyone experienced this with pertronix ignitor and know what might be the cause?
