Brought her in to replace radiator and deal with the weak spark/hard start issue i've been experiencing. Replaced points, fully charged battery, replaced switch, cleaned all battery terminals and ground on block. Cleaned plugs (they are not old but were sooty). Now the spark will jump 3/16 on 1st revolution but will not on subsequent revolutions. Does this sound like a leaking condenser (capacitor)? How do I get a 1/4 spark everytime. I am using a storebought spark tester that is adjustable and when i close to 1/8 i get spark but it does not seem to be a blue streak overhand yellow hammer, it's seems kind of puny. I need a self-appointed sparkie-meister!
