Ignition System

[kablea]

Howdy all,

I am having issues With getting a spark,

i think that the coil may have died but i am curius as to what volatges i should get and where.
424
Hope the pic works

currently i think htis is how it is wired, and i am getting,

at "a" - 4 volts

at "b" - 4 Volts

at "c" - 12 with igntion

the coil is brand new, and it measures 1.3 Ohm across the 2 terminals and
10k between the Center teminal and the outer terminals

does this sound ok?

done alot of searching to no avail... i more confused now than before...

Thanks in advance
Aaron.

OK it sounds like your resistor has bit the dust. you should have 9v at a & 12v at a in crank (start) so I would suggest you change that (around $7 to $10 not hard to do either

I agree with Paul, sounds like a faulty ballast resistor. Make sure your new ignition coil is compatible with ballast resistors (it may have an R in the part number somewhere eg. GT40R)

The coil is the Standard one that Repco Gave me... i will get a new one anyway i think. Thanks Guys

Ok so i got a new coil and a new resistor, and Boom off she went :)

prety sure the old coil is ok but i thought i'd do it anyway, i got the GT40r and 1.6 ohm balast.
The balast that was in ther ewas meant to be 1.6 but was reading bout 5 ohm

Thanks Heaps Guys
