I am familiar with magnetos and distributors, but have a problem. I"m testing a Farmall 200 Distributor as a spare unit. I hook it up with a 12 volt coil and a 12 volt battery charger and I use the distributor points as a switch only. I can get a 3/8 inch blue spark (flame) from the coil wire to ground when I spin the distdributor by hand, but when I connect the coil wire to the center terminal of the distributor, then connect a spark plug wire to one of the spark plug terminals, I can only get a 1/16 inch weak orange spark to ground. I am loosing my spark within the distributor. The distributor has new points, new rotor, new cap, properly adjusted points, and is very clean. What am i missing?? I have the distributor mounted in a large vise with good ground. My battery charger negative is connected to the bottom flange of the distributor which is mounted in the vise. Maybe I am suffering from the CRS ailment. Any Thoughts will be appreciated. Like i said, it is a spare unit, but I would like to have it ready.
