April 18, 201410 yr Author Moderator nah, doing my head in. I'm gonna take the ignitor back to the guy in warrington and see if it still works. If it does, i'll buy new coils and a trigger coil, not a lot else I can do
April 18, 201410 yr Nope not a lot else to do is there,thats what i hate about used electrical parts ,,you just never know when they will give up and have you chaseing your tail and second guessing.
April 20, 201410 yr Author Moderator good news is the ignitor still works. and I got another set of plugs which look a lot better.... still no spark. next step tomorrow will be to separate the connections and see what transpires
April 21, 201410 yr Author Moderator Did direct connections and not a peep, I recon its the trigger coil.
April 21, 201410 yr Did direct connections and not a peep, I recon its the trigger coil. is that otherwise known as the pickup coil?
April 22, 201410 yr Well your narrowing it down ,the chances of both coils being bad are pretty slim so what else could it be.Just got to love unknowen used so much for a good running used motor,just hope thats the only problem with it.
April 22, 201410 yr Author Moderator Motor ran fine on the test bed, maybe it has been standing the pickup coil was affected Sent from my RM-914_eu_euro1_280 using Tapatalk
April 22, 201410 yr Author Moderator Be hilarious if it turns out to be a duff kill sw......... it would affect the separate independent connections I made. All i have left is the pickup coil an even that ohms out correctly black - grey, black - orange, should read 108 to 132 ohms infinity to earth is that from the ignitor or HT coils?
April 22, 201410 yr it would affect the separate independent connections I made. All i have left is the pickup coil an even that ohms out correctly is that from the ignitor or HT coils? from the ignitor (dual pickup type)
April 22, 201410 yr Author Moderator from the ignitor (dual pickup type) only single in this one as its the later type.
April 22, 201410 yr I never trust the pick up coil tests they for some reason never seem to fail the test (only if they completly fail) but fail to work,you have eliminated all the rest so noting else really
April 23, 201410 yr Author Moderator checks done at the plug connector in the loom, 89 models and on, 81 to 121 ohms and mine is 95ohms, still its the only thing I have left to replace
April 24, 201410 yr if no spark at plugs red/white wires from ignition coils are fed by 10 amp fuse in fuse box, fuse snugged in? have you got the black/grey/orange connectors at the ignitor on the right terminals? Have you got an electrical schematic?
