Ok, you have a spark at the spark plug, but it\u2019s not a sharp, white spark.\u00a0 I had a 102 one time that had what looked like a fuzzy, blue spark.\u00a0 That turned out to be a condenser problem.\u00a0 The condenser is in the circuit to prevent the points arcing across as they open.\u00a0 (The condenser \u201cabsorbs\u201d some of the current as the points open reducing the potential for arcing.)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If the condenser is not working, the points will arc preventing the magnetic field to collapse fast enough to create a high voltage in the secondary side of the coil.\u00a0 The lower voltage will result in a weak, fuzzy spark instead of the sharp, crisp spark that\u2019s needed.\u00a0 A bad condenser also will cause premature failure of the points as a result of pitting.\u00a0 Use your voltmeter to check the condenser.<\/p>\n
Still under construction!!<\/p>\n

A bad coil can also cause a spark failure or a weak spark.<\/p>\n
