Ok ill try and answer/post results in order of how they were posted here.
Family dropped by so had to drop tools for the night.
Killer6, the battery voltage was approx 12 ish. Its a little low due to me constantly trying to start it with no success. So charger is on it now.
I will chk tomorrow for voltage drop of 0.5 V at red wire on ballast.
Other pink wire (non coil one) on ballast leads to 7 blade starter relay.
I didnt chk voltage but did chk for continuity and it shows continuity.
What do you mean "B+ while cranking"? Not sure what you mean sorry.
I understand the sparking from coil -ve when grounding but the wire that is supposed to spark (coil wire from center) is NOT sparking, no matter how close to ground I hold it. Strictly the one from coil -ve to battery -ve .
Not sure which wire you are asking about as per schematic?
Thanks for the help!
