Though I am still concerned about the coil, it is leaning toward a fuel problem. Think I will make another trip tomorrow evening and drain and clean the fuel tank and fuel bowl.

The plugs carboning up with black soot don't make sense. It seems to me that would not be caused by a firing problem, but by bad fuel or water. When I opened the drain on the carb fuel ran freely with no indication of water. When I pulled the carb there was no water in it.

The coil also has me stumped. Another forum indicated that there should only be one way to hook up a coil, regardless of 6V, 12V, or positive ground. The (+) should come from the switch and the (-) go to the distributor. This coil is marked (bat.) and (dist.), with the (bat.) going to the distributor and the (dist.) coming from the switch. This sounds backwards to me, but it ran fine that way when I went to look at it the first time. I tried reversing it the other night and it did not make a difference, but if that would have an effect, the damage may already be done.

Does anyone know of a way to test the coil with an ohmmeter, say for grounds, shorts or opens?

Again, Thanks for your input.
