Well, what I meant was there is continuity between that terminal and ground when the engine is standing still. When I crank it I get a spark, and when I specifically ground out the terminal with a jumper wire, I don't get a spark anymore. Exactly how it’s supposed to work. In other words, the magneto part is working normally. Disregard that portion of my post from last night. My problem is with the distributor (or so I think). There's continuity between the wire that goes to the magneto and the inside of the center post. But for some reason, the spark never makes it to the other posts. I even tried another rotor. I just don't understand why I get a good spark off the magneto, but it won't go up the post, through the wire, and to the plug. I tried different wires, and still no change. I don't see how this could be related to timing, since the distributor cap is keyed, the rotor is keyed, and the magneto is keyed. The magneto/distributor was never taken apart by me or altered in any way. Thanks for any help. ffolkes
