By accident I didn’t have the wires in the right spark plugs . Could that affect the igniter?
What happened when you did the test I described? To fix electrical stuff you have to “prove out” different parts of the circuit. We need to find out if the Pertronix is the problem.
The problem I had when I installed the Pertronix is that the magnet was not gapped correctly between the sensor and also in height and thus would not start.
Once I had it gapped correctly it ran like a dream.
I just installed a new ignitor and now she still wont start but the coil pack , resistor and ignition key wire are all 12 volts?? Whats going on now?
You need to stop throwing parts at this and do the testing. Did you use a meter to measure the 12 volts or are you just looking a the brightness of the test light.
I used a meter
It’s all 12volts
Okay, good. You may not understand this, but if the circuit is not closed to ground, you will read the voltage of the source. 12 volts. Where this is important to know is at the coil positive. Once the Ignitor closes the circuit, and current starts flowing through the circuit, the voltage will drop.
What we really need to do is to test each part of the circuit, one step at a time so we can see where things are failing. As I understand it, right now you are getting no spark at the plugs, ever.
okay I really appreciate this. Please guide me through this and ill follow all your steps. I replaced ignition switch , coil pack , resitor, ignitior , wires cap and rotor and battery.
The regulator to alternator wire. The connector was broken so I wired the wires individually. Do you think this has anything to do with that?
