Hi all,
Last fall on my last drive of the year, my coil slipped out of it's bracket and grounded out on the tin. I got it running again and limped it home, but it was running like crap. Over the winter I pulled the points and condensor and replaced it with a pertronix, and I also replaced the coil, but it's still running pretty poorly. I'm thinking that the ignition switch may have got slightly fried. If that happened and the coil isn't getting a full 12 volts could that cause poor spark and crappy running? What would be the best way to test this? I'm thinking measure the voltage at the - terminal of the coil, and maybe try hooking the coil straight to the battery and see if running improves. Are these good ideas? Does anybody have any other ideas, things to test, etc? As always, thanks for all the help! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) |
