no, I told my dad that it'd be good to get new ones but he said no...
so today when I got home, I put the new solenoid and points in the dizzy.
my dad checked the points and said they were shorting, Idk why, isn't there supposed to be sparks on them when they contact each other? or no?
tried to start it and it turned over but for some reason the battery was yet again getting drain. and I just installed the new starter yesterday.
I did notice the neg. wire from the battery smoking on the post, looked at the wire and it looked corroded. so I cut it back and put it back on and it didn't smoke but wouldn't fire and the battery was getting drained. so idk.
I'm lost and have no idea what else it could be.
