My UC was also giving me many problems this past weekend. From having a very badly timed coil, to dirty spark plugs and sticking valves. We got those all cleaned up and good to go. Even put new points and re-timed the distributor. Then it ran unitl demonstration time. Then it quit. Lots of battery power but no spark. I figured it would have been from the rain getting into the electrics. That was until Mr Fitton took one quick look and noticed my wire from +terminal on coil to condensor had been broken clean off. How this happened is beyond my scope but I was able to quickly fix it and get it running again.
