I was thinking it's a 1957

I was thinking it's a 1957 or so "fat fifty" 87 is new to this crowd. You should have a mag powered cdi. Have tried grounding your wire when running (just for a second). Try and find your over board switch and see what color that wire is. Or wait for "Grahmn" to get back -he has a library of just about everything.
