My issue is very similar to MassBassin's problem in another thread - no spark on the bottom cylinder. I don't want to hijack his thread, so here's mine!
I've swapped the coil leads out of the power pack and the spark moved from the top cylinder to the bottom, so I know everything south of the power pack is good. However, when checking resistance for both the sensor and charge coils it shows open between the respective leads and the armature plate (which I suspect is the same as engine ground). Since I don't have the DVA adapter for my multimeter, is it even fair to check the output voltages from either coil (I don't see any voltage, so I hope it isn't fair!)?
Since it does have spark on one cylinder, can I safely assume that both the sensor and charge coils are working and that the problem is the power pack? Obviously, that's the easiest thing to replace short of pulling the flywheel to get at the rest of the ignition assembly. I don't have the necessary tools to pull the flywheel, so if I need to it's heading to the shop. Is it worth the couple hundred for a power pack just to avoid another couple hundred in the shop?
Thanks for the help in advance!
