I'm working through starting my freshly rebuilt 2056. It has the original D-Jet and is a 1975 motor. At first I had no fuel pump, I fixed that.
Now there is no spark from the coil. I traced the lead from #8 on the fuse box to the relay board then out the relay board. I have 12.4v at the coil positive but no spark. I'm testing it with a light-type tester. No bueno.... It is a Bosch coil, i believe it is a "blue" coil. I read here that there should be 1.5 ohms resistance between the two poles on the coil with everything dissconnected. This one tests at 7.4 ohms. A spare coil I had had similar results with no spark at crank and 4.6 ohms resistance. I assume i need a new coil...... Right? |

Installed new points. Now I have spark. Thanks for the help.
Moving on to the next problem. Fuel Pump turns on the 1.5 seconds but I'm not seeing gas at the motor yet. I'll try again tomorrow. Could just be that it hasn't picked up or sent enough fuel through the system yet. I have only cranked it a few times. |
