16V electrical gurus needed...

How about battery negative to chassis ( a likely corrosion point, as it's
under the airbox), and more importeant, from the frome to the tranny. That
wire was entirely missing on mine. 

Or something really odd in the ignition system, like a bad wire to the hall
sender/coil, or a missing rotor or something...(I only mention the latter
because it's easy enough to do...)or is it firing and dying? Cathy
