1973 Scamp won't start in start only in run. With a Twist....

That is perfectly normal .
You have got to jumper the brown and blue wires together, else the coil goes dead . This has the side effect of sending power to the starter with the key in run. To prevent that, I installed a relay in the brown wire to the coil instead of the jumper

OK Connect the brown and blue wires together Before the brown and blue connect put a relay on the brown . If thats correct so far what powers the relay? The blue? The instrument lights are involved someway in this mess and don't work. Could they also make a miraculous recovery? That could be a separate issue. Thanks for the reply. I did the ign1 ign2 thing 2 years ago and thought every thing was fine. moving the coil and taping the wire bundles may have upset something .untaping I will go. Thanks Jim
