I have 6v at the connection where the black/white wire joins to the yellow of the ignition coil.

Not sure of the year but it a old 6v version with points.

It almost seems like I am shorting the ignition coil out to earth but think the body of the coil should be earthed to the frame !!

Thanks for the reply. Have set the points to correct gap and get 6v from the black /white wire. The black/white wire will spark on the rocker cover and the bracket for the ignition coil. Don’t have a ignition switch fitted so that cant be shorting out. Before i removed the valve cover and barrel I had a strong spark !!!

Hi. Hope someone can help me. I have a old 6v cg125 with points ignition I am restoring. It had no spark so changed points and then had good spark at plug. Had to remove barrel as had no compression. No its re assembled I have no spark at plug. Have 6 v at the black white cable from generator . Have tried several coils . It seems to be problem since removing brackets which mount to frame which steady top of engine. Have checked good earth at ignition coil mounting bracket. Am stumped !!!!!
