nope - if you earth that lead you get blown fuse i think...
you have old-style points ignition?
power to coil should come via ballast resistor to the + connector
the - connector should head over to the points, which is switched to earth when the points close or to the small capacitor (inside or bolted to outside of dizzi) when points are open.
sometimes there's a noise suppresor capacitor between the ballast resistor and earth.
anyway, that's from my notes about the 18R
Cool1 is a auto-sparkie? he should know if this is right?
maybe that small capacitor at the dizzi is stuffed - anyway, i thought most 18RGs were electronic spark (reluctor inside dizzi, ignitor attached to coil)?
charles.
