How many volts showing right before you start your GL?


Recommended Posts

Gloyale, you're so right!

 

It's not the coil, I installed a new one, nothing... 

 

I checked the wires and they look ok? I put a voltmeter to the first harness/block. It has two red wires and one green one. Im getting power to them. After that it turns into the wiring harness and I have no idea what to do with that.. Where should I start?

Yes, check that power is supplied to the coil, as above.

 

Other hints:

 

Easy test for no fuel - 1 to 2 seconds of carb cleaner down the throat.  Hold gas pedal down about half way.  Crank.  If it has spark, it will fire for a few seconds, or a burst.  If it's very flooded, it may take a try or 2.

 

Check for spark - take the wire from the center of the disty, [other end is connected to the coil] and arrange a spark gap with whatever piece of wire, etc. so you can see it while cranking.  About 1/16" gap.  You should see a healthy spark.
