    Ignition problems, bad coil? or is there something else that could be up?

    are you sure the points are closing properly? If you disconnect the neg wire from the coil, using a meter, you should get continuity between that wire and ground when the points are closed. And no continuity when the points are open.

    Hopefully the condensor is the problem. Bad condensor doesn't usually stop spark unless it's shorted out [rare]. Good luck.

    Ignition problems, bad coil? or is there something else that could be up?

    If there is no spark even after the hotwire from bat+ to coil+ and the coil neg to points wire is ok and the HT lead from the coil to dizzy is ok, it's probably a coil problem. [assuming it's just a points system and doesn't have an igniter] Grime on the points is also possible. Gapping the...

    Ignition problems, bad coil? or is there something else that could be up?

    one thing to try is run a wire from bat+ terminal straight to coil+ and crank it over. When cranking only, these trucks bypass the resister and put full 12v to the coil+. If there is a problem with this system it's possible that there is no voltage to coil+ only when cranking. It could be...

    You can visually look for spark. Put a plug on a lead and ground the plug body on the head or neg bat terminal and crank it over. If you can see a good spark , your timing might be off .[the timing can be badly wrong, but it will still spark]. No spark ? the coil could be shot or a wiring...
