Shane,
I have checked the grounds and all read 0 ohm. All seems to be functioning.
Steve,
I didn't do anything except remove and reinstall the carbs. It wasn't until I was pretty sure that the carbs (with some parts from yours. Thanks again!) were doing about what they should and I still wasn't even getting a tiny pop, that I started digging into the ignition.
The coil wire throws a weak spark, but won't make a plug spark.
All my cranking was on a motor with no sparks.
Bobby,
I'll look into the resistance when I get home. We shall see...
Everyone,
Part of the reason I asked is that I don't know what the life expectency of a coil is? Is 7 years of light use a normal(ish) life for an MSD, or any, coil. I seem to remember them lasting longer.
Thanks for all the help!
-Dan
