Do you need a spark plug tester to test ignition coil?
Using a spark plug tester also means you won’t expose your combustion chamber to debris. Remove the spark plug using a spark plug socket. Once you’ve removed the spark plug wire, remove the spark plug itself. This is easiest with a specialized socket wrench called a spark plug socket.
When do you Know Your ignition coil is working?
If your ignition coil is working properly, when your friend cranks the engine, you should see a bright blue spark jump across the spark plug gap. This spark will be clearly visible in the daylight. If you don’t see a blue spark, your ignition coil is probably malfunctioning and needs replacement. Orange sparks are a bad sign.
Why do I have orange sparks on my ignition coil?
If you don’t see a blue spark, your ignition coil is probably malfunctioning and needs replacement. Orange sparks are a bad sign. These mean that the ignition coil is supplying insufficient electricity to the spark plug (this can be for any number of reasons, including cracked coil casings, “weak” current, faulty connections, etc.).
How do you remove spark plug from ignition coil?
Remove the spark plug using a spark plug socket. Once you’ve removed the spark plug wire, remove the spark plug itself. This is easiest with a specialized socket wrench called a spark plug socket. From this point forward, be careful not to let anything drop into the empty hole left where your spark plug was.
What’s the compression on a 1993 Yamaha Exciter?
Since then the carbs have been cleaned, synchronized, needle/seeds replaced, choke cable adjusted, oil injector cable adjusted. Compression is equal on both jugs at approx 130psi. So what should I look at next?
What causes a spark in a coil wire terminal?
Somehow it kept running for a long long time with a bad cap coil wire terminal until the sparking inside the terminal eventually eroded the coil wire conductor way back into the insulation. Inside the wire it was invisible, and a real pain to track down.
Can a bad ignition module cause a weak spark?
With a Coil, you can check it hot and cold. Check the primary and secondary windings and compare it to spec. Actually all things can be good cold, but once heat gets around it, it fails. A newer HEI setup, the bad ignition module can also be a sign of no spark. Def. check the grounds and make sure power is where it should be.
What can cause a weak spark on a condenser?
With an operating condenser, and points that are triggering, you should have a strong spark IF the coil is good. One other thing to check, the coil wire itself, in fact all the plug wires. When that ass gets to big it can totally kill the spark. Unless you like big asses. from PARADISE! (Long Beach, CA)
