96 G16a short spark
Hello, just picked up an old G16 gasser. Hasn't been run in 5 years. At first it wanted to start and would run just for a second with a shot of carb spray. Cleaned the carb and replaced the spark plug and now it won't fire at all, even with the carb spray. When i pull the spark plug and ground it, it will get about a half second of spark then nothing. I unplugged the blue/black wire in front of the engine and it won't spark at all, Thinking its the coil? Any ideas?
Thanks! |

Hold the spark plug to ground like you would testing spark.
Connect one terminal of the coil to battery + Use another test wire on the other coil terminal and quickly tap it to ground. The plug should spark every time you tap it. |

Re: 96 G16a short spark
Nope, this coil is powered by the magnet in the flywheel. The 2 wires from the coil are 1-black-engine ground, 2-blue-coil deactivate. Any the the flywheel is spinning, the coil would like to make spark, it is deactivated by pulling the blue wire low to ground. Unplugging the 2 wire at the front prevents the coil from being deactivated.
