Well, got things apart and the coil and pickup coil seem to test out ok. So probably the module. However, even though it ran ok since I got it last year (although it's been mostly sitting) I did notice there is a lot of orange paint on the dizzy hold down clamp. So, to be safe I'm going to get that all cleaned up. Even though this dizzy looks pretty new, I'm sure a bad ground or less than ideal input voltage (PO had originally wired it with 16GA, which I replaced a few months back) didn't help any. Hopefully will get it going again this week sometime.
