"Hi,
I have the 3 cylinder electroshift. There is no spark to any cylinder when turned over with key and no plugs in it. I disconected the main wiring harness and tried to arc the starter selenoid and check for spark but it wouldn't arc so I checked for spark when jumping straight to starter the engine turned over but still no spark. I pulled the flywheel, checked the reverse spring, cleaned and gapped points to .010, used ohm meter to check the points they don't appear to be shorting and appear to work ok, cleaned contact on rotor and reassembled....still no spark. I tried to check for power to the coil. The blue wire on the coil that attaches to the blue wire from the "amplifier" and it did not appear that there was any voltage coming from the "amplifier" to the coil. Any other suggestions or tips? Also why can't I arc the selenoid, also is there a condenser with the points? Do you think the amplifier is bad? What next?
Thank you in advance.

PS. I cleaned all contacts on the "strip" and have a good battery. I do not recommend the clymer manual."
