Hercules back together...no spark though

I finally got this bike all reassembled and rewired, but I've been fighting and fighting this no spark issue. I hardwired the bike (ie took out a bunch of unnecessary wires), so I didn't figure the problem was there. After a few nights of testing and swapping parts from running bikes, I determined the internal ignition coil or armature was bad. I put in a known good one, only to find out that I now have a problem with either the points or condenser. Damn.

  1. Hi,
    I have the same model Hercules.
    I am having issues with the fuelvalve/petcock.
    I was if you know of any replacement ones that would fit.
    thank you!
