I'd do the coils and points. You dont need a computer to see if something is wrong.. If your going old school go all the way.

Or you could run a Magneto...
After using Chevy points for 20+ years I switched to Dyna ignition in my kick-only shovelhead. 3-4 kicks at the most when cold and always 1 kick when hot. good thing too, since I only got few kicks in me ....

If it was a chrome ***** I wouldn't have a prob spending that much, but it's a bobber/ratbike. Any help is appreciated.

I would have to switch out the sensor plate with the points plate/condenser/flyweights etc, and id have to switch the coil, wires and plugs, but would i leave the stock ignition module and VOES? Will leaving the module leave me with the same issue I started with?
