hi everyone i have a 1973 cb when i got the bike i was told there was no spark so i started to look into i have power every were i should and ive cleaned up the contacts on my points but when i pulled a plug out and grounded i couldnt see any spark i took the plug boot off the wire and when i touched the wire and turned it over i could feel a shock and it felt strong but i cant get an arc out of it when i ground it to something i am thinking about ordering condensers i was told if those go bad u can loose strength in your spark any ideas on how to get spark would be much appreciated thanks everyone also how can i replace the wires if the wires are bad i dont really have the money for new coils right now thanks
