I have only got one w-b wire, and a single w one (If I'm
right, it is the tacho feed). I have connected the wb to
the "-" side of the coil. I have not connected the tacho
wire anywhere.

What if I missed the timing? Can it end up with no sparks
at all? Or just giving the sparks at a totaly wrong time? I
had tried with a single spark plug connected to the block
outside the cylinder, and with a mechanical dizzy, it gave
spark, not with the 65DM4.
