Voltage between pin #5 and engine ground with engine cranking should read between 8 and 12 volts. If reading not within limits, the ignition by-pass circuit is open or grounded from either the starter solenoid, the ignition switch to pin #5 or primary connections at the coil. Repair or replace as necessary.
