I have had this motor many years with no problems. Cranked fine after setting up a year. Son carries it fishing and it wont hit a lick!
After a while float fishing it starts and runs fine.
He checks it for the next trip a week later, wont fire, then starts. At the lake
it wont hit a lick again. remember this motor has never failed to start.
I check it with spark tester next day at home. no fire. Reading on here I learned to ck the sator and trigger. The sator showed 600 to 800 by different meters. The trigger had no connection between the brown and white wires. While i was checking the trigger i cliped my meter wires on. I noticed when i moved the wires close to the trigger I got around 1250 connection. This led me to think the wires going into the trigger were bad.
I had big problem removing the flywheel even with a harmonic puller. I pryed the filler open on the trigger and cked the wires which were good. So now i am not sure if it is bad, but i will put a new one on anyway.
Now my hard questions, sorry to be so long!
1-Can a trigger be good but not reading the flywheel, when i pushed up on the trigger is when i got a meter reading??
2- when i was cleaning the flywheel i wrapped a rag around the ring/grove that runs inside the trigger and it rotated on the flywheel,
I cant believe this is correct. The trigger tells the box when to fire each plug in relation to the woodruff key, as i understand it. So did i damage the flywheel removing it or did the ring come loose and cause the on firing problem?? I think i need another fly wheel.
Again sorry for being longwinded,Thanks for ant help.
