Thanks for the shout back Rich, I've been wrong soooooooooo many times and I may well be again grrrrrrrrrrrrrr lol which is why I asked you the question. Here goes:

1) His question was "should I have power on both sides of my key switch when in the on position"

2)You stated above "........ so little to no voltage should eb seen with the points closed and full voltage if the points are open"

OKAY (I may be wrong mind you, please explain if so, I’d sure appreciate it) here’s my opinion:

It’s my thinking that on a switch that's "good" and has battery voltage on its INPUT, YOU SHOULD READ "NEAR" BATTERY VOLTAGE (versus "maybe almost no voltage" as your original answer stated) ON BOTH ITS INPUT AND OUTPUT WHEN ON, REGARDLESS IF POINTS ARE OPEN ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR CLOSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!

He asked about power on the SWITCH, it’s my thinking a good switch would have power on its INPUT (if properly attached to battery voltage source) and then also the OUTPUT (like to a coil) when switched to ON, and that’s so on his SWITCH REGARDLESS IF points are open or closed.

I may be wrong and please correct me and explain if I am, but it still seems to me to answer his question it’s YES he should have power on “both” sides of his key switch when in the on position AND THAT’S TRUE EVEN IF POINTS ARE OPEN OR CLOSED as your answer "........ so little to no voltage should eb seen with the points closed and full voltage if the points are open" seems to indicate.

Thanks Rich, take care and God Bless, let me know. Fun sparky discussion were havin, I hope we don’t bore the others.
