I tried to get my new engine going for a couple hours tonight and it just cranks, no fire.
Got fuel to the carbs, but no spark at the plugs (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Checked the coil and I get 12V off each side to ground, is this correct? What is next in the diagnosis...what else can I check? |

Brett,
besides the comments about wiring...have some one crank the engine and go back and verify the rotor is really turning inside the dizzy and check if the points are opening and closing. While your at it, pull the coil wire and see if your getting spark out of the coil. I know the above is probably a no brainer and you've probably already done this, but a good place to start. |
