Somebody could tell me if the RPM should move when the starter is cranking the motor? I suspect my hall sender is defective. I had hard time to start my motor when hot. Now I cannot start it anymore.

The small connector on the distributor is very loose. There are 3 small wires (red, black and gray) which come out from the distributor. I got around 12Vdc between the red and the black.

I removed the distributor and put 12Vdc between the red and the black for testing. I am reading millivolt between the black an the gray. Anybody knows which voltage I should get on the gray wire?
