We found the problem, it was inside the starter solenoid, the retainer nut on one of the contacts had loosened and it was preventing the disc from making contact with both terminals thus not sending the full voltage to the coil while cranking, the motor starts great but now I'm having another problem, it also seems to be in the ignition system but we can't figure it out. The problem is intermittent, sometimes it will run great and then it will start running like crap, missing very bad, won't idle and if I can get it go while running at a good speed I can hear and feel a miss that sounds kind of like microwaving popcorn and occasionally it will let go with a startling backfire that sounds like a rifle shot. I have replaced the coil, points and condenser, cap and rotor, plug wires and plugs. The timing is set at 10deg BTDC at 600 rpm idle, the point gap is set at .018, voltage on the coil + while running is 9 volts, what could be causing this problem?
Thank you all for your help.
