Hi there.
I’ve got a weak/no-spark symptom on my bottom two cylinders (3&4). My ignition components are as follows:
2 black sealed CD boxes
Stator with two green/yellow-striped wires, two yellow wires, and two blue wires.
Trigger unit and 4 coils.
I feel like I’ve got it narrowed down to a stator problem but want to clarify before pursuing a new/used/rebuilt one. With the plugs out and grounded I can see great spark on 1&2, but weak/inconsistent spark on 3&4. With a spark gap tester I can get 1&2 to jump 7/16” but 3&4 can’t even jump 1/8”. After flip flopping the two stator feeds (blue/yellow pairs) to the two CD units the symptoms reverse. Switching the two trigger feeds to the cd units changes nothing.
My main question is how do you test this particular stator for resistance and peak voltage (I have a DVA and multi-meter). I have the manual but it requires the use of an old proprietary tester and wiring adapter harness
. The stator supposedly has 3 circuits: battery charge, cd voltage low, and cd voltage high(?). Green/yellow goes to rectifier so it’s battery charge. One blue and one yellow go to each cd box. The stator has some spools of thin gauge wire and others with a thicker gauge of wire.
The best testing guide I can find is this:
And here is my wiring diagram:
But it is unclear if I’m supposed to read across each blue and yellow pair going to each CD, or across both yellows and then across both blues, or each yellow to ground and each blue to ground? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
