ok , so i tried to check the timing , with a remote starter switch , but could not get the timing light to flash much at all , one or two random flashes , and nothing . tried two different timing lights a few times each , same result or nothing . i feel like i am doing something wrong . so i could not find a solid core wire , so i used what i have . i tried to check spark at first with the remote starter . zero from coil or plug wire number 1 . then i re read what you said a few times ( i takes me awhile ) and tried with the key . from what i could see looked like an ok to good spark , from looking between the bottom of the hood and cowl and with sun in the mix . heard a zap zap sparky sounds too . tried the same thing by putting the wire with tester in the cap where number 1 goes . got nothing , no spark , no happy sounds . then pulled the cap , pressed the remote starter , rotor is spinning , points are opening and closing , but no sparky goodness from those either .
