I have lost spark on one side for all 3 cylinders...
It aligns with the bottom power pack.
I have cleaned all grounds at the switch boxes and stator.
I have proven that the stator is good.
I swapped out stator leads on boxes and problem didn't move.
I took ohm readings for the stator leads and they all fell within range.
Between BLUE and RED Stator Leads - 3500-4200 ohms at - R x 1000
Between BLUE/WHITE and RED/WHITE Stator Leads- 3500-4200 ohms at- R x 1000
Between RED Stator Lead and BLACK Stator Lead - 90-140 ohms at- R x 1
Between RED/WHITE Stator Lead and BLACK Stator Lead - 90-140 ohms at - R x 1
I tried removing the white/black bias lead from the switchbox, but still not spark on all 3 cylinders, same side.
I also checked the ohm reading from the terminal for white/black with lead removed and to ground and got 14000 ohms set on the 1K scale. (14x1000=14000) I got the same reading for both packs, but the manual says they should be 1300-1500 ohms...
Is this pointing to the problem with the switch boxes or an ohm scale problem or misprint?
It is strange that both packs have the same reading and would be in range with one zero missing on the numbers.
I do not have a idle stabilizer, although there are wires that are not connected to anything, but been like that for 4 yrs and no problems.
Serial # starts with OT100
Any ideas would be appreciated...
thx
