I am trying to help get a 2N Ford running. As far as the wiring goes it appears to be original and not modified per Jmors diagram. It will almost always start cold but after running a few minutes and shutting it off it cranks and will not fire- no spark. I put a volt meter on the coil terminal and only get 2 volts with the key on. I put a jumper wire from the battery to the coil terminal and when they start cranking it over as soon as I touch the jumper wire to the battery it starts immediately and stays running. If you shut it off it will not start until you touch the jumper wire to the battery again My question is do the ballast resisters get weak and what voltage should you get out of a warm ballast resister? Thanks in advance!
