Subject:      Electrical problem with new engine
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"


Hello,


I just installed a freshly rebuilt 1.8L engine in my 80 Westy.
I've got an electrical problem like this:  no juice from the
ignition key.  Battery okay, even with a jump.  Been bridging the
terminals on the starter with a socket drive and the engine spins
nicely, but no spark.  Tested for juice at positive coil
terminal... nothing.


This is probably a silly question, but... any ideas?  I can get the
engine to turn, but no spark at the plugs.


Thanks, and if indeed this question is pointless, thanks for not
laughing. :)
