Elec woes, crank, no start after running then parked.

No, I checked coil volts after stalling. I think it was 6 ish on coil +ve and 1ish on coil -ve. That's after stalling and key in run.
Did you say you had a voltmeter attached to the Ign 1 side of the ballast when it starts to flutter, and voltage is not falling off?
