Re: Gale Buccaneer 3D11B Ignition Issues

quote FrankR:

Can we assume the resistance of the spark plug lead included the coil’s secondary winding and the result was 3K-ohms, not 3 ohms? If I’m assuming correctly, that sounds about right.

Clean the breaker points. Yeah, I know, you said they are new. But even new ones develop an invisible non-conductive coating on the contact faces.

I did not notice that the top of the Ohm scale on the multi-meter read 1K. Also, the meter was not zeroed. Resistance of the spark plug lead is right at 1.2K Ohms.

I did clean the points, and that did not help.

Thanks for your reply.
