Hi Ken00
I tried your suggestion for the ground. I connected the jumper to (neg) on battery and to top of carb. Still no lights. Used screwdriver to jump between Relay posts, starter did not crank.

Connected to other ground sources and same results. Nothing.

Checked "jumper ground" connection by removing jumper from battery (neg) post and connecting that end to volt-meter (Neg) and leaving other end of jumper connected to carb.
Placed (+) meter probe on to Battery(+) and meter reads 12.71

Used same connection to check other grounds to Hood hinge and Fender Bolt. Got the same reading of 12.71

Still no power.
