Chrysler 4 HP

[Holy bottoms]

I am now looking for parts I am getting no spark at all and at this point no gas to the carb. I have checked the fuel shut off it clear and clean. I replace the fuel line I am now thinking I need a new electrical but I will plug along. The frustrating thing is that this motor is spotless. and rarely used. any help?

Re: Chrysler 4 HP

The most common cause of no spark is dirty or corroded breaker points. Have you cleaned them? I don't mean a half-hearted attempt, I mean take them completely apart and individually polish each contact shiny bright. Re-assemble and adjust the gap to .020" at their widest opening. That may be all it needs.

I got the points out and cleaned them and they glistened no spark I am now going to my local boat shop and get new points new capacitor and see if they can find a new coil. The compression on a single pull was 90 so if I can get it going it should be a great fresh water troller for Kokanee.

How are you testing for spark?

Replacing the Fuel pump gaskets and diaphragm has always been one answer to fuel delivery problems...

I have currently managed to get the motor to fire but it will not run any more than a kick. ?I am thinking that the carb needed to be cleaned and did that so I will see tomorrow. F_R I want to thank you for your help.
