"I have been wrestling with a power loss with this engine for some time. See earlier posts. I have determined that the voltage at the + coil terminal is about 5 volts (ignition on, points closed). I believe it should be 8 to 9 volts in that mode. I am checking for bad resistor wire and/or bad connections. I have miss-firing at all revs and 2000 is all she will put out (laboring heavily). Less than 10 knots at 2000 RPM. Any other ideas?"
