No no no, I said juice it up ! meaning put a positive to the + side of the coil !!
it should start then even if you have a ballast coil but of course it wont run forever because it will burn the points and coil out eventually.
Lots of Mini's had a resistor wire from the ignition switch to the coil and the 12v start voltage comes from a separate terminal on the starter solenoid.
Of course I cant see from my house what the problem is but if you are only getting 9v at the coil with the points closed then it looks like there is a resistor wire or a dodgy terminal somewhere.
Just do what I've said and run a wire to the positive terminal on the coil to a 12v feed from the starter solenoid where the main loom pick up is attached.
Temporarily disconnect the rev counter if it has one on the coil
You will get a 12v reading from the ignition switch wire because there is no resistance if it's not connected!
