You were correct. I was getting almost a 6v drop while starting and apparently this was enough of a voltage drop to make the coil not fire. While I knew I had an old battery I thought the Commercial Heavy Duty battery charger/starter would provide enough volts and amps. I thought the starter would have dropped off line before the coil didn't get enough power to operate ... I was obviously wrong. I connected another battery directly to the coil and the plugs fired as advertised. Unfortunately, I couldn't get the engine to start even with starter fluid ... but at least now the plugs are firing at the proper time. Next step is to get a new battery and look at my carbureation system. By the way, regarding the connections to the solenoid ... I had disconnected the wiring harness as I did not want the 12v to power 6v controls/gauges/sensors until I had the engine running on 12v. I wanted as simple a system as possible. Thanks for your help and insights ... Randy
