[SEL] Novo Rollr and Maytag 72

[Mark Shulaw]

Hi RickinMT,
  A bad coil is certainly high on the list of suspects. Check continuity on 
the secondary winding by attaching a set of test probes from a multimeter 
to the spark plug lead out. Set the meter to R-100  or X 100  and look for 
a reading of either 4500 or 8000 ohms depending on the vintage of the coil.
If you get that reading then do all the basics, clean and set the points to 
20 ths, change the condenser, change out the plugs for new ones and gap to 
25 ths each. Then if this all fails get the flywheel magnets 
recharged.         Good Luck,     Maytag Mark
