Try using 2 batteries. One for ignition and the other to spin it over and see if the spark is what it should be. If it is good chance your starter is drawing to many amps and that will cause a problem like you have

You were right on it old. After changing cables, condenser, cleaning points with dollar bill, swapping coils with another on hand, still got weak spark. Hooked up separate battery to spin engine and spark improved greatly. Seems like something in starter is drawing too many amps and that affected my spark. This may also explain why the engine turns over so slow when hot. I will look into rebuilding my starter soon but for now the little N is out of the garage and running. Thanks to you and all the other's that shared their much appreciated advice.
Bob

Always happy to help if and when I can. I have a small problem and I sure wish I can find a picture of how things fit. LOL I am trying to put my Geo Tracker back together and have 3 parts I am not sure where they fit under the dash LOL

6 volt or 12 volt to spin it over it does not matter since all it is doing is spinning the engine over by hooking right to the starter. Or maybe your battery cables are the ones made for a car instead if the 0 or 00 cables you should have on it
