[QUOTE="dasbinder, post: 352215, member: 13345"] Tested the spark...during repeated pulls Top plug has the flickering amber light on the tester during each pull Bottom plug has the amber light, but it just blinks on, then off on each pull Removed the flywheel and tested the condensers... Condenser on the 'top' plug performs exactly as the poster inidcated Condenser on the 'bottom' plug just flashes a value and goes blank Does this sound right to any of you? I do not have much experience with capacitors/condensers, but I'm inclined to think one, at least one of them is bad. Note: There is good continuity, from where the point attaches to the condenser, to where the plug wire is attached to the coil. However, I get no reading from the coil to the plug wire end that attaches to the plug, on either wire. [/QUOTE]
