Engine won't start, fuel is present, timing is good, so I suspect spark. Testing my spark with a spare plug to the block shows it's pretty weak. My power wire to the + coil terminal is old and cracked, badly. I haven't tested voltage but a test light to to the + side is very weak and flickery. I know that wire is activated by the ignition switch so is it safe to test by disconnecting it and running a hot lead straight from the battery?
