Another ST/300/D build. First timer

[dave phelps]

I just pulled the Attex out of storage and I have a dumb question. Can I start the engine on a bench without a battery? I replaced the points (.018), plug and condenser, and I wanted to fire it up prior to install. I checked for spark, and there is none. On the stand next to me is a friends 400 Chief that lights off without a battery. I did not have spark prior to changing parts, the other stuff was really old.

I start mine in a vice!! Usually vibrates some stuff off the wall though!! Lol

Thanks, that's what I thought. The coil looks original, I will track one down.

I just pulled my Attex out of storage again, ran out of excuses to finish putting it together. The bad news, five out of the six axles are permanently stuck to the sprockets, tried everything, heat, 30 ton press, and nothing moved. Any ideas besides trying to find used ones?
