When you have no spark, check power supply going into dist.

Looks like B+ should be hot. It looks like its tied into batt.
Which one is the red wire?

Im totally confused now. If this post sounds stupid, Im going to blame it on a senior moment.
What if you run a hot wire from batt to dist. Undo the factory batt wire in to dist and run hot lead there. ?
Been replying to to many threads
What about that coil test in the FSM pic?

I checked the wire from the batt to the "BAT" terminal and it checked OK. In the morning I will check the coil using the FSM pic IF it still doesn't start.
That has been part of the issue with trying to fix it is that it won't stay broke

Well I followed the diagram and did all of the test. Everything checks out. I had a couple of local guys say check the ingnition switch. What do you think? If that could be it how do you test it?
