Hello,
I have a 1943 model "F" Whizzer that used to run reliably, now I can't get a spark to save me. I carefully checked wiring, points breaking with proper timing, condensor seems good, flywheel magnet seems strong. I bench checked coil using an ohmmeter. Resistance on the secondary coil winding hi-tension term. to ground = 4k ohms. The primary coil measures zero ohms. Is that right? Shouldn't I measure at least 2-4 ohms?
I get no pulse whatsoever from hi tension lead.
I'm toying with the idea of finding and trying some small engine coil that has a 1/2" x 1/2" square hole in middle so it will slip onto the old laminated stator. Has anyone had success substituting a coil? Thank you.
