Made some welding repairs to hull, but forgot to pull the harness off the motor; now engine won't start.
I have replaced the Switchbox as the original had a 1 ohm ground on Kill lead coming from switch box after welding.
Also found plug on top cylinder had shorted between electrode and collar with metal that deposited after welding- this scraped off easily and plug was returned to service.
I get a nice spark outside of engine from plugs, but engine won't even spark with Ether.
Here are my Ohm reading on components, which all seem to check out per SELOC manual
Stator : Red to Blue terminal 5.9K Red to ground 51.2 Ohms
Trigger : between leads 850 Ohms
Ignition coil: Primary terminal .4 Ohms / Secondary to ground 1K Ohms
Here's my DVA readings.
Stator: 38V/308V with rectifier disconnected 31V/296V with Rectifier connected
Trigger: 1.5V across leads / .7V each lead to ground.
Ign Coil: Primary at Positive terminal to ground 220V top cylinder and 207V bottom cylinder
Not sure what a good test would be for the output of the Ignition Coils and I am stumped as to what else could be the matter.
