I replaced the coil, condenser and points on my 56 rer. If I turn the engine by hand while holding the spark plug wire it, will “tickle” my finger. But the spark will not jump the plug gap. The only thing I can think of is the timing is off.

It is magneto ignition.

The entire ignition system is new, hence “ I replaced the coil, condenser, and point “. The ignition coil is under the flywheel so you cannot gap the coil.

Yes, I'll try that, thanks for the tip.

Spark will light a bulb tester very bright when hooked to Ground .Spark Check But will not jump the plug gap. Tried 4 plugs. Tried closing the plug gap too. Any Ideas?

Sorry to disappoint those looking for a diagnosis. I loaded up the parts cannon and put an entire ignition system from a part’s engine on. And what do you know, It has spark!
