coolskaterkid Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 Ran great one day, parked overnight now it wont start. Not getting spark out of coil. Tested coil, is ok, so i put in a new ignition module, still nothing. One odd thing is after cranking i can turn the key almost to the off position and i get spark for a second, as the motor turns over on its own. It seems to me this would be the ignition switch, but is there any other tests i can do before going and buying parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloyale Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 test for voltage to the coil with ignition "on" and during cranking. If no volatge...it's the switch Confirm by jumper 12v to coil positive then crank it. if it then starts, coil, disty, etc.....are OK......Switch is bad.

naru Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Put a test light on coil -. It should light up and pulse w/cranking. Light but no pulse = bad module No light on coil - or + = power problem No light on coil -,but,lights on coil + = bad coil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
