Re: Hi all! Help with Goodyear 5hp 1954 (3564)

yes looks identical really –

I now seem to have a weak spark issue –

I have tested both coils (they arent cracked), they have similar winding results.. iirc 3700 on secondary, and primary is low, maybe 100 (could be wrong here) anyway – I put in 2 new condensers and plugs.. snipped wires.

On the inline spark tester I see a yellow / orange spark on both.. however when I insert a plug and hold it against the body it doesnt spark between the electrodes –

points gaps checked / cleaned with brake cleaner. I set the air gaps between coils at 0.012 as per the manual and a little bigger on the B gaps (0.014)..

Any ideas? Could the coils be weak?

Wd love to hear some suggestions – thanks!
