Brad, Good to hear you saw is running well. I was thinking about a key way off but it as been a little while. As mentioned, glad you got it running.
I addressed this in the first post. It is 100% a timing issue.Brad,
You have a non-electronic flywheel, right? Try grounding the positive tab of the nova module. Do you see spark at all (weak) if you remove the spark plug from the cylinder and ground it while using a power drill to spin the engine in normal direction? Now spin it backward and is the spark stronger? Can you try regapping the coil to flywheel really close to see if you get stronger spark (in normal direction)?
I am experiencing the same. I believe you need to have the positive tab grounded to get the correct timing. The coil gets energized by the magnets passing it from S to N which is a bigger round of the flywheel so a closer gap might help.
Nova module might has some smaller capacitor, making spark too weak to start the engine.
I get spark and it is weaker than when I spin the engine backward.
Right, it is a timing issue. We want to make the nova module work instead of running the engine without the flywheel key.
