Thank you, Erik!
Very helpful. I'm going to check if there's an external resistor tied to the coil. I read in Jack Ashcraft's book on electrics that that could be a scenario with a low resistance coil. It's definitely an aftermarket. I'm picking up new rotor and cap today and will try again.
I haven't done any work on the electrical system, so in theory, it should work fine as it did before. I will say that prior to this, I was having an issue with keeping it running. It would start and idle for about a minute or two, then die, and I could not restart it until the next day. I assumed a clogged gas filter and replaced it, but that's the extent of it.
I'll check wire connections as you suggest, replace the cap and rotor, and cross my fingers.
Will also look into the external resistor tied to the coil and if I don't find one, will look to replace it.
Thanks again for helping out.
Best,
-Scott
