There HAS to be fuses. You can have an electrical circuit without protection. Donating more money isn't going to get this done. I am not there and there is only so much I can do from the Internet.

That's a pretty crude diagram with no colors, connectors or fuses but it said the coil is powered directly from the ignition switch.

I'm lucky to have that much. These things don't have to many records or books.

I have replaced the ignition switch and I'm following the schematic to reconnect all of the wiring to be sure its going to the right place and doing what they're supposed to be doing.

You need to be testing wiring, not changing parts that you don't know to be bad.

I went through the wiring. I replaced it all. I finally got power to the points. There had to be a short somewhere. I had to reset the gap to the points. Once I got everything tightened up. I fired right up. Man this has been aggravating but that's what I get for running 50 year old equipment. All that I have to do now is get the idle set right and things will be golden again. Thanks for helping me narrow it down.
