Quicker revolution is required at times.Set the gap at a hotel match book( Idk the number, guy was a jet mechanic that told me). try that. I guess it needs a little dwell time to build up.
I don't know where you get matches from, but some gas station will give you a book for free if you ask. lolI've never seen that Nova ii set up b4, that's way cheaper than the adjustable cdi electronic conversion I was looking at.
Have to ask for everything now days.I dont even think they put a chocolate or a book of matches on you pillow anymore even at a hotel/motel .
Bad condenserDoes anybody know what might cause a weak spark on that honda hobbit, it's a points & condenser set up. I sanded the point contacts cause they were rusty. I hooked up the wiring & got a weak spark, it will shock you, but it wont fire a plug. Now if I bypass the wiring, including the voltage regulator/rectifier i got a hotter spark, but still wont fire a plug. I hooked up the black wire coming out of stator directly to the coil wire, then I took the green ground wire coming out of the stator & grounded it directly to engine case. It will bite the living out of you that way, but wont fire my plug. Any suggestions, I'm thinking weak points/ or point gap not set correctly. View attachment 160283
Bad condenser can cause a weak or no spark Get a new oneWrench you are thinking condenser is bad, theres a condenser mounted to the metal body of the ignition coil, do you think it's the problem there?
