I am puzzled. My newly acquired TR3A has been converted to negative ground,
and it ran when it left the PO. I have replaced points, condensor, rotor,
and cap in preparation for it's first start under my ownership. It will not
fire. When I connect my VOM to the neg (neg ground remember) wire to the
dizzy and to the block and crank, the ohmmeter stays pegged all the way and
does
not bounce as one would expect as the points open and close. When I
inspected the new points there is no apparent short, and when I put one VOM
contact
point on the white wire/condensor post and the other one on the spring and
manually open and close the points it does just what it is supposed to do when
you crank. The ohmmeter needle bounces from one end of the scale to the other,
indicating there is no short in the points. What am I overlooking?
