Hey thanks for the response. Yep a good charged battery is always the best starting step. So the battery is definately NEW and charged ( volt meter says zip-pa-tee-do-dah).  A weak ground.... that could be it. Negative cable from the battery is over 30 years old... so.... and it sat outside for some years. So could be that. Hmm could have some rust where it meets the body. I will clean and recheck it.

Hoping to at least get it to kick over and then I can adjust all other goodies from that point. Wont be sure what the rectifier and charging system is doing until i get it running. etc etc etc.

Thanks much!!!
