I was wondering if anyone could tell me why my Johnson V4 isn’t getting spark on one side? I replaced the coil packs and power pack. Would it be the stator or the timing base? Thanks.
When replaced the coils and the power pack I had to put new rubber boots a couple of the connectors be cause the old connectors had been cut off and the wires were spliced together. So today I broke one of the pins off the wire so I am waiting for new ones to come in. But it was not getting fire with the old power pack and the wires spliced together that’s why I replaced those parts. I wanted to put it back the correct way with the rubber boots. But now I am wondering if I should just splice the wires together again?
???-----Read post #4 again.-----What are the ohm values of the sensor coils ?-----What are the ohm values of the ignition " charge coils "?------Both these items are under the flywheel.----The flywheel can stay in place while you get these readings.
Now those numbers make a lot more " sense " to me.-----They sound like the correct values for the testing I asked for in post #4..------Does spark jump a gap of 7/16" on a spark testing device ?------Have you inspected starter motor , battery and battery cables ?-----How did the motor run for you last season ?-----Post the results of a compression test before buying any parts !
So while checking the values they match on both sides. But I did notice that one of the wires on the nonworking side had rubbed against the flywheel until the wire was showing I taped and moved the wire. Hopefully that was the issue.
