1986 Marathon Coil question
Can the coil go bad and cause intermittent spark? Or if coil goes bad you have nothing? Mine started missing the other day and I think it might be the coil.Everything was fine then on the way home from a friend's down the street it started missing.

Re: 1986 Marathon Coil question
It's possible, but I would change the plug first.

Re: 1986 Marathon Coil question
Go to post #3 of this thread, and download the .pdf file.
There is a troubleshooting section for the ignition system that has all of the values for the coil, pulsar, and igniter. Don't start throwing parts at it yet. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/gas-e...-ignition.html I'm also curious to know if your plug is getting wet. Sometimes a ripped diaphragm in the fuel pump presents itself as an ignition problem. |
