Okay so without the key even in the ignition, so only the battery connected, there is 10.75 V to the coil. With the key on it has 12.5 V.
There is power at terminal 15, the positive on the coil, and there is a wire running to the condenser on terminal 1, the negative. I have 2 green wires on the + terminals of the coil which idk if thats normal but they both look to run probably to the ignition switch.
The previous owner didn't do anything. This has mostly all original parts, besides the motor block. Has original head though. Its number 1660016 so im trying to keep it original as possible. This ignition issue and shorts in other places such as the horn and taillights are other issues with wiring. But if I can fix as I go id definitely keep the original wiring.
As for the wiring for the alternator.. I dont know what the wiring is suppose to look like for that. I attached a picture of what I got. I see a ground wire that attaches to the engine and it splits off into what attached to the negative battery. Is that the same beefy wire your talking about?
Lastly. I see my voltage regulator and whatever is next to that are super old and original. Could those be part of the problem?
Thanks,
Josh
