ignition has no power

[ZBrat1946]

Well Houston we have ignition but no blast off..............a new battery will help greatly we have the volts but not the amps it keeps draining  rapidly after a few attempts. I need to convert from side posts to top and I will use my cay battery for future tests. Not sure which wires go on the coil with the Crane we have a red + yellow - a blue which is coil ground to tach and another I believe is off the resistor block. Just cleaning and soldering the light sockets fixed the turn signals. I think she is close to coming back to life .

So you got it to start with starter fluid?  Your life would be so much easier if you would take some measurements.  

I remember the old ways from the old days though, Filling my crankcase with gasoline as I cranked and cranked the engine with the "new" carb" that had no float valve, but I knew the carb was good, my friend gave it to me.  Grinding the springs off of my new clutch disc because it was installed backward and I didn't want to take it off again, and I knew that wasn't the problem.  Got a great workout though from removing and reinstalling the transmission about ten times.  Good times man, good times.
