Hi Guys,
I made diagrams of existing 'chop job" (be afraid, be very afraid!), studied my diagrams for a few days and started snipping. Not wanting to just do it all & expect everything to work (never happen)... I am testing as I go. I've got the ignition end all put together... Battery, coils, condensors, rectifier, zener, grounds, wires to points, flasher (using automotive flasher with one wire in-one wire out) & wires to Alternator. Fuse is OK.
I finally got started in the headlight shell & decided to check what I had done so far. I found that the Blue/Brown wire at the ignition switch has no voltage. If I take the rectifier out of the loop (disconnect Blue/ Brown at rectifier)... I do get voltage.
I did try completing the circuit with ignition switch fully hooked up and engine kill loop effective... connecting Yellow/White & White but no joy.

Thanks in advance guys!

Hey Kadutz... it's a ready made from Moore's Cycle.
All... I took a break & went back at it & now, inexplicably, I'm getting current at the ignition switch.
So... thanks for looking in... call off the dogs for now. I'm going to move forward & will post to this thread if I get stuck again.
Thanks Guys!
