Hi,

I have a similar problem, with the -battery cable disconnected and using a flying test lead directly connected to the -terminal of the battery I have 6.2 volts on the ignition, both sides when turned on. Also with the ignition turned on I have 6.2 volts on the Low voltage terminal of the coil. All well so far, now connection the -battery lead and ……. 4.6 volts!!!!. That’s with nothing switched on except the ignition. Now a flying lead from the +terminal to the low voltage side of the coil, she starts.

I’ve paralleled a fully charged 6v battery, no difference!

There must be a current drawing somewhere to drop the volts but where?

If anyone has any ideas that may help maintain the little sanity I have left. 🙄
