Last night I was going to run out, for a midnight snack, but the Toolmatic would only run on two cylinders, so it had to stay home
I had to drive the Toolhauler. Anyway after School this evening I put it on the new lift (I do not know how I ever lived with out this thing.) I knew it was not firing on 1-4, so I switched the point wires to check the coil. It did not fire. I then checked the voltage at the points. The 1-4 was only getting 8 volts. The 2-3 was getting 11.5. I then pulled the coil, and checked continuity. It did not have anything on the wires. I replaced the coil with another one I had, and it fired right up.
However me being me
I went on, and replaced the points, and set the timing. I guess tomorrow I will adjust the valves, and sync the carbs before School, and maybe adjust the chain.

New points set the timing, and valves. Did not get the carbs synced though. Will try to get that done when I put the carbs back on the Toolbagger. That way I will only need to break out the gauges once, for the both of them. However the Toolmatic growls like a lion again.
