If you don't, check the usual things; is there voltage to the points? Are they grounded? Is there a bad wire? Etc., etc. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Welcome to the Stovebolt, kornbwn.
