This is the strangest thing I have ever seen. Trying to set the timing and the flash from the light is intermittent at best. Ok so I have a cheap light but I know number 1 has spark. I used my self as the ground to be sure.
Engine runs like it is hitting on all 4 and pulling #1 does change the engine speed. But move the clip to any other wire and it works. Swapped the wire from 1 to 2 and the light works on 2 but still not on 1? I have a compufire ignition. Swapped caps and rotor and got the same thing. Ideas?????????
