Elephant racing is a distributor. They don’t list the price, so I assume it ain’t cheap. They list a contact for info.

The part that threw me off is that I checked the signal from the green wire going to the cdi box with the oscilloscope and it looked correct. But obviously, I can tell now that the wires are...

I have always used the MSD by getting its power at the 3 fuse box in the engine compartment, without issues for over 10 years. Also, MSD datasheet says it will fire with as little as 7V, so I am not...

Yes. And I have also seen spark at the cylinder wires once when I crank, but it does not hold. I see one spark and then no spark.

I just checked the AC voltage at the green wire while cranking, and it is 0.6V AC, so it confirms the dizzy coil is good. The plot thickens…I will get the little oscilloscope to check the signal...
