Is the generator hooked up? If it is, did you convert it to 12 volt? Im not sure if the hot wire comes off the generator wiring somehow,, but if it does, and your putting 12 volt to a 6 volt generator,,, you may be creating a short in the wiring. But, that is if the IGN wiring is incorporated into the charging circuit, and still using a factory wiring harness. You have to cut the voltage back on the hotter coils when using points. When you dont, it overpowers the condensor and fries the point contacts. its also more prone to arc across the point gaps, and have a short in the distributor cap, causing the electricity to jump around inside the cap. Ive ran a MSD blaster 2 coil on my 460 with points, and always ran a resistor in the power wire. Never had problems with points burning up. If you run it for a while, just like it is,, let it run for abut 5 or 10 minutes, shut it off, then touch the coil. Careful!! It may be hot!! if it's hot, you need to put in a resistor. When the coils get hot, they short out, and can be dangerous and explode. You really cant get much more voltage to the plugs when using points, the condensor stops you everytime. Best to use electronic set up to get the best voltage to the plugs. Lokk at the plugs while your at it. New engines will have shavings from the rings seting in and can get in the electrodes and short out plugs. ChadS
