You are right - the key is putting it in right. Washer first is a long button, but only the tiny wire spring touches the coil. If you put the button through the washer then out into the cap, you get more metal contact to the coil but it doesn't poke out far enough to touch. HOW many v should the coil put out to the rotor when you put 12v to it. STILL can't get engine to spark.
