No Spark!
« on: November 21, 2005, 11:39:11 »
After working our balls off last week giving the machine new springs dampers, wheels and tyres.
took it out yesterday to foxham ran superbly for about a hour and half or so.
Then decieded it had had enough, cut out and refused to go again and ended up havin to tow it home with the Pajero.
Spent a couple of hours looking for the problem there but with out a full tool kit was a bit lost!

It seems to have lost and spark from the coil
checked all the connections, they seem ok
and have battery voltage at the + side of the coil

Any ideas?

BTW 3.5 efi 1987

Sounds like the electronic bits of the dizzy have gone west.  You can try running the coil direct from the battery if it's an EFi as it's a 12v coil.  if you can get a spark then it's the dizzy.
