Reply To: Calling all Coil Experts & Jack of all trades

[Buccaneer]

Thank for your replies Mercuryman and Mumbles. When I was pulling over the
Neptune to check for spark, I had both spark plugs screwed into an aluminum bar
that was grounded to the engine, so the circuit in the secondary was complete,
but I only got very weak spark, sometimes none.
I believe I have the testing procedure figured out on the Stevens for these type
coils, and the B&S coil test good on the tester, but only when it’s in the original B&S laminates.
The flywheel magnets seem to have decent pull, and I’ve kept a metal bar between
the magnets whenever the flywheel has been off.
Confusing that magnetism and electrical stuff is….. can’t
even see the darn stuff!

Prepare to be boarded!
