Seaberts Not Getting Spark
« on: September 05, 2003, 05:01:31 PM »
Hey guys I'm at my wits end now. I can't get seabert to fire. I have replaced the rotor,coil and poiints.. made sure the disty is firing on one. But no spark when I flick the points with the iggy on. I have no idea whats up. If anybody can help me I'm running out of battery on this laptop. Give me a call at 604-306-8151 and help me out.

If more power is better. Then too much is just enough.
Why do it once when you can do it thrice?

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe the only way you can tell if it is getting spark is to hook a spark plug up ground it somewhere then turn the engine over.  A least that's how I check....

Well I tried that also.(have talked to Jeff) I have also swapped condensor but still no vroom vroom. Next I'm going to check to see if i'm getting power to the coil. I'm using a brand new coill... so I guess we will see. I just finished having dinner so I'm going to go out there and give her a go.

Okay. I am getting power to the coil. Enough to make the wire on my test spark and start glowing(no glow in the bulb though I probably made up the test light wrong/badly. So I'm not getting any spark from the coil though when cranking. So is it my condensor?
