I need some real help
Here we go. I put in a S/G that I rebuilt and realized the battery was bad. The S/ G I put in worked but it would barely turn so I had to choke it everytime to get it to run no matter how warm it was. I put new brushes in the other S/G and reinstalled it. I got everything put back together, the S/ G purred like a kitten but now it wouldn't start. I pulled the plugs and neither one is getting spark. I tested every wire from the coil all the way back to the battery and all plugs. Everyone of the have continuity. I tested my positive lead at the coil and I got 12.9 on positive and 4.5ohms on the negative. I unplugged the red and black wire that go into the engine and inserted my meter leads then turned the motor by hand. You could see when it sent a pulse through.But I'm still not getting spark so I bought a new dual ignition coil and still no spark. I'm totally lost now.

I replaced a solenoid and then cleaned my starter brushes and no spark. There is a red wire that attaches about 12" away from the ignitor and runs to the coils. I left the wire disconnected when changing the solenoid and no spark. It has a solder joint in it. maybe your's is corroded? |

Re: I need some real help
What do you mean when you say you "pulled the plugs" and you are not getting spark?
Are you getting fuel? |

Re: I need some real help
I replaced the starter/generator. Before I replaced it the cart ran great the s/g was dragging and I had to choke it everytime no matter how warm it was. I changed the s/g but when I went to start it it wouldn't start just the s/g ran. I pulled the plugs and held them to a ground and push the accelerator. I didn't have spark on either plug. I replaced the ignition coil thinking it was it but still no spark. I finally replaced the cdi box today because I was told "I guarentee that's what's wrong with it. Guess what, got 1 spark everytime I pushed down the accelerator but only one spark. I'm lost, I'm ready to shoot my cart.

Re: I need some real help
When you are testing for spark are you leaving one plug wire connected or are you removing both wires at once ?
The plug will not fire if you remove both to check. Put one plug wire back on and test for spark on one at a time. I assume we are talking about a 9hp Robbins ? . |

Re: I need some real help
I leave the plugs plugged into the coil wires and look at them. I actually pull the plugs out then put them back on the coil wires.
