Hello to all!
Read few topics that consider starting, timing, coil and all other parts but could not find answer to my question.
So that is why i opened new thread
Was away for some time!
Had busy period.
But car is in position to start the engine.
Tried yesterday but no luck.
starter is turning engine but no run.
Tied to find where problem lies and run at problem.
Do not have spark from ignition coil.
Wires to and from coil are connected correctly.
Wire from ignition switch (key) to +, from - on coil to dizzy
Coil is getting very hot. Is that normal?
Reading other threads concluded that it is something what should happened but could not find confirmation of that conclusion.
Also measured resistor on primary and secondary coil.
Primary coil (connecting + and - on coil) give me 3 ohms. That should be right?
Secondary coil (connecting + (or -) with outlet for dizzy cap) give me 10000 ohm. In one book for maintaining R4 (something like haines but from years back while it was still Yugoslavia) i have found that secondary coil should have resistor from 5600 to 6200 ohms. Mine is much bigger but i think that it is even better. Is that conclusion correct?
I do not have other coil to test it, and would like to avoid buying new one before i am sure this one is broken.
Does any one have info how big resistor should be on secondary coil?
Thank you for reading!
P.S. Building updates in other thread shortly!
