>and set it so that it is about 1/4" from a good ground
I can get a spark to jump about 1/8" or less, but not at 1/4".
The truck has been sitting outside, so I have some cleanup to
do on the contacts of the dist cap.Plus with all my cranking
before trying to get it to start I've drained the battery down.
A few years ago I brought back to life an old Oliver tractor,
and it's main problem was bad wiring.I learned that 6 volt systems
seem to be very sensitive to weak electrical connections. Probably
is all I'm dealing with on this AA.I feel better now that I
at least can get the coil to spark.
Since this truck does not seem to be selling it looks like I'll be taking
it with me to Milwaukee.So if you see a 1928 AA R Express on
a trailer being towed in the next few months give me a wave.
Thanks for the help.
Mike (learning more about electricity and model AA's)
