No spark in my ETS project - ideas??
Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2012 5:09 pm
Well, I have got the engine loosely in the frame of my Trophy sport with a TS engine project so I thought I would just make sure it has a spark before trying to get the other engine mount sorted.
Not that simple - I can't get the bugger to spark for love nor money!
I have tried two different coils, both of which I know are OK as I have used them in my Trophy. I've changed the condensor (several times) and tried two different sets of points, making sure that I have the gap of 0.3mm. When I try the ignition I'm getting 6volts to the coil and down to the condensor so that seems OK. I have made sure that the HT lead is tight both ends and conducts properly ( 0 ohms along it) and Ive tried three different plugs, one of which is out of the Trophy so I know it works.
ARGHHHH! I must be missing something. I have no idea what though, my head is spinning tonight so I've given up for now.
Any ideas???
