I'm working through starting my freshly rebuilt 2056. It has the original D-Jet and is a 1975 motor. At first I had no fuel pump, I fixed that.

Now there is no spark from the coil. I traced the lead from #8 on the fuse box to the relay board then out the relay board. I have 12.4v at the coil positive but no spark. I'm testing it with a light-type tester. No bueno.... It is a Bosch coil, i believe it is a "blue" coil.

I read here that there should be 1.5 ohms resistance between the two poles on the coil with everything dissconnected. This one tests at 7.4 ohms. A spare coil I had had similar results with no spark at crank and 4.6 ohms resistance.

I assume i need a new coil......
Right?

Got spark. It was the points
Fuel pump seems to be working.

I'm thinking that my starter isn't giving me enough umph.
I used my old ground strap because I couldn't find the new one I had purchased. That's my first step to try. A new new one is on the way. Anyone have a diagram of how this starter should be wired? I have a solenoid installed. The starter turns the motor but not very fast. Looks like a rebuilt unit. Nice and clean.

You guys are awesome.

Note: my fuel pump has been relocated under the tank, above the steering rack.
