okay, so I know that L-jet uses the point pulses to fire injectors...my main relay is working, so what connections do i need at the coil?
i already have the tach wire, the point wire at the neg and nothing at the positive.... but i have a brown wire and two black wires joined to one both sets of wires having 12VDC on them....what gives? b |

get a test light.
I believe you may have power to the coil. You cannot test the points with a multimeter. they do not provide enough resistance. I had this problem also and it was purely related to setting the points up correctly. We also changed the coil to another one and it had spark. Might be a bad coil, or you may have killed it by plugging in the leads to the wrong side or backwards... Not sure...but the coil sounds bad. You can make it fire key on /power to coil with a jumper. turn distributor to make point close and open...get it just close to opening... I use an old plug and an old plug lead, plug the lead into the coil, plug the plug in to the other end...ground the body of the plug to the fan shroud... use leather or rubber gloves to hold it...it will hurt. turn dizzy back and forth opening and closing the points to get the coil to fire.. you could have shorted the coil, shorted the condensor, or burned the points so bad that they will not carry the juice. If you have a test light, you can check you point coil and condensor with a test light...each have different tests... These tests cannot be done with a multimeter...there is not enough resistance... You can make a test light with a 12V single filament bulb, some wire and a soldering gun/tape... Rich |
