Tim,
If you are getting electricity to everything but the plugs then the problem
is the coil or the main lead to the distributor..... Also a weak spot could
be the ignition switch. You sure you have the rotor on inside the
distributor :-) What about the leads....are they going to the correct part
of the distributor?
Best way to solve your dilemma is to start with a basic diagnostic. Start
with the battery and then move along the various paths till you isolate
where the break in the circuit is.
When I was rebuilding my 70 Ambo any electrical problem I had was related to
a faulty ground. In fact on my recent run the to Adirondak Rally my bike
quit dead all of a sudden. With a volt meter I traced the problem to a
faulty main ground.
Good luck and be sure to let us know what you learn.
Regards...Ian

I won't bore you with the details of bloody knuckles and foul language, |
| after many long hours of putting together my Eldo, I go to start it and |
| no spark. Suggestions? All connections and wires are good, power to the coil, etc. |
| even switched out the coil with another and had nothing. Any way to test the coils? Thanks, Tim 1972 Eldorado es muy frustrado! |
