Afternoon everybody. First I'd like to say thanks to J.R and ellpee for helping me out on my last thread getting this wiring harness figured out.
Now that I have it together, I have another problem. No spark. I have a new ignition coil and spark plug. I've been trying to start it with a 12v 12ah battery, and also the one from my jeep. I have grounded plug the outside of the engine to visually check for spark. Nada. I have tested continuity between the three phases of the stator, and all settle at 1.6 ohm. I don't know what the values are supposed to be, everyone says they're in the manual, but they're not. When I check cont. between both spades that go to the ignition coil, and pin 2 on the stator, the 1 stays on the left hand side of the screen, and the numbers on the right flash to 60 or so then go away leaving the 1. If I check between pin 1and 3, nothing happens. None of the pins on the stator have cont. with engine or ground, so no short.
The blue wire and the green wire on the ignition pickup trigger pulse have cont. between each other of, 123.8 ohms.
Pin-6, on the CDI shows 0.00 with key off. -11.28v with key on. When hitting start button goes down to -7.42v then bounces back up to -8.24v or so but bounces around, but not back up to -11.28v.
Checking voltage on ignition coil spades: With common lead to green wire and red lead to y/bk wire, multimeter says -0.13v with key OFF. With key ON, flashes -1 on the left side, then jumps to 12.??v and then counts down till it settles at 0.02v. When hitting start button, -0.42v.
If I switch the leads around on the coil spades: 0.31v with key OFF. Goes back and forth between -0.01v and 0.00v with key ON. When hitting the start button: 1.23v
I tested what I could, but I'm unsure what the numbers mean. Why would I show neg. voltage at pi-6 on the CDI? Shouldn't it be positive voltage? Shouldn't there be more power in the ignition coil wire?
Sorry the long post just trying to be clear on what I've found. Any help trying to bring this motor to life is much obliged. Thanks fellows.
