[QUOTE="jd421, post: 323024, member: 12288"] Hey guys been working on my motor all night trying to troubleshoot why I can't get a spark. Got new plugs, set the points and also lined them up with the flywheel notches, so I tested the coils.... The primary test pegs out the voltmeter to 0, but it should be on .9 I read. The secondary test, one lead on the ground and the other on the spark plug attachment point, and the voltmeter on RX 1K ohm. It reads 2.5. ON BOTH OF THEM. I read it is supposed to be 7.64k ohms Can anyone help a girl out? I don't have the meter to check the condenser. Also is the top spark plug for No. 1 cylinder? And the front coil sparking No. 1 cylinder? Front being the one closest to you when you stand facing the faceplate. This is for a 1954 Johnson 5.5 hp [/QUOTE]
