siearl Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Well here goes, Got in the motor it started up and went - not a problem. Went to move it again later started up and nothing, starter motor kicked in but no spark. Checked the coil and there is 12v going in to the coil which drops to 8 on turnover. There is however no spark coming out of the king lead to the dizzy. Have tried a new HT lead and nothing. So has anyone got any ideas could this be the coil gone. The coil also has an amplifier box it sits on which is connect direct to the Dizzy.. All help welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All help welcome If the battery is good then you might check your live and earth connections. 8V sounds rather low to me - indicative of a flat battery or inadequate wireing.

Coils are cheap, worth replacing IMHO. Do you have the starter motor cranking 12v take off fitted? If not its worth fitting one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siearl Posted November 28, 2006 Author Share Posted November 28, 2006 unfortunatyly i have had to get a company to collect it from where it is to sort out, they also agree with the coil so heres hoping for running motor and not expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
