I am also old school too! I don’t understand why you are looking at peek voltage. On small engines the faster it spins the higher the voltage. At one time high speed motors with lights would spin so fast that all lights hooked to it would burn out. Modern regulators cured that.

So keep your peek voltage high enough to make spark, that should work!dale

Dale I think you are essentially correct but it is a diagnostic thing. If you don’t have spark you need to track back through the maze of $350.00 switchboxes and triggers and stators in an effort to identify positively which part is causing the problem. Otherwise you end up throwing expensive parts at it
