   Yes, I did replace the coil and condenser a month ago.  It still misses after warming up.

Today all I did was change the points.  It is clean and not grounded.  Only the condenser and coil are attached to the point.

	I did recheck everything. Not sure why, but I simply disassembled everything then put it back together. I was able to get a shock off the coil contact which was OK but not a hard snap of a shock. Must of had a contact and grounded out the coil somehow. However, after timing the rotor gears there was nothing to the plug wires. I took off the distributor cap and with a screwdriver touching the coil contact, there was a shock. As well there is pressure on the cap contact rod, thus, I think this is OK. Shop is hot and I am drenched. Back inside for a bit with a cold one. Dan Edited by CA13414 - 2 hours 38 minutes ago at 4:11pm

	Earlier I watched a "youtube" rebuild and the shock they had was an arc of about 1/2". Not what I am getting. Maybe a rebuild however, not to keen on the idea of $325. Dan

	However, after reading the various threads, everyone who bought a rebuilt magneto mentioned it was a very good move. The "youtube" on rebuilding a magneto mentioned "recharging" the magnets! Is that a thing? Maybe that is why "my shock" is a pansy shock. Dan Edited by CA13414 - 41 minutes ago at 6:08pm
