Parked my NAA running fine for the winter and now no spark. It's still 6v pos ground. I found the voltage regulator was fried and I replaced it and installed new 6v battery as old one wouldn't hold charge...it was 5 years old so time anyway.
I polarized as instructed by touching the FLD wire to BAT at the VR. It sparked as it's supposed to do. I'm not getting spark at plugs still and no spark at coil wire at top of distributed. I checked wiring all way from coil to VR and continuity is good.
Using test light I noticed the FLD and ARM at the VR are hot, but the BAT isnt...not sure if this is correct. I am bewildered...the wire to coil isn't hot but not sure if it's supposed to be as it's a pos ground system. I can put test light on pos at battery and it lights up when touching the wire on coil that leads to ignition.
Guess my question is...is BAT at VR supposed to be negative? If not, what now. Points dont look too good but would that stop the spark? Just at a loss for what to replace it test next.
