Yes, you've connected the Red clip to the wrong side of the coil, it should be on the side that receives the 12V. Where you have it, it's shorting
out the points.

and again
could it be possible that my coil is connected back to front. the coil used does not have any +ve or negative markings. I have a spare coil (gt40 )
that clearly has +ve and -ve marked on it . If i change coils and put the gt 40 on am i right in thinking that ignition wires go to =ve and the -ve
wires go to the dizzy. thanks for the help.
