alright worked on it yesterday and today. yesterday it almost started it kinda fired a few times but wouldnt run. so i redid the timing today cause i thought thats what was wrong but not getting spark again. im only getting 4.6v to the coil. we hooked it straight to the battery figuring it would get 12v then but still no spark. didnt try the pick up coil yet. thanks for any help
