QuestionCan you tell me if it's possible to test the ignition module below with a VOM?
It's producing a weak spark. It's enough to "feel" when I hold the lead and spin the crank buy hand (spark plug removed) but not enough to make an arc when I connect the spark plug or hold the lead near the engine. Also does not arc when I give it a good spin with the recoil (again, spark plug removed).
Air gap is set correctly to .0125
New CJ8 plug.
Magnets on the flywheel pass the 1/2" screwdriver pull test.
What values show I see between the primary and secondary to ground and also the value between primary and secondary?
Toro S620 Snowthrower
Tecumseh AH600 small (3hp?) two stroke engine.
No points, CDI ignition module.
Ignition module #34443B
Just trying to make sure I'm not missing anything and would like to verify the module is bad before buying a new one.
Thanks, Ken
Answerhi
idealy if you have the assy spinning over with the pull start and put a tester in -line with plug and ht lead ( with a gap of no less than 6 mm and leave the kill wire removed from the coil assy spark ouput from coil will jump this gap if in good order
if does not jump this gap reserve voltage is low and better to replace coil assy
i assume cdi ignition not point correct y/n
