I'm having trouble with an intermittent spark. I'm happy to report that by replacing the electronic eye, stator and rectifier fixed my tach and over charging issue.
However some days I have spark and some days I don't.
Today I was working through some of the trouble shooting steps and was excited to see that I only had 9 volts at the yellow/red leads of the 5 wire plug going to the power pack. (checked with the plug unplugged and cranking the engine, checked the yellow/red wire) It should have read at least 11 volts. As prescribed I hooked up a direct 12 volt wire to the starter solenoid yellow/red wire and I was pleased that I had spark and she fired right up.
I removed the direct 12 volt lead and and she started up again. I shut it off and checked the voltage of the yellow/red wire again and was surprised to see it was only 9volts but now would run.
Question: is this starter solenoid related or power pack. ( why don't I have 12 volt to yellow/red wire?)
Question: why does it start when reading only 9volt? Is it possible that once the power pack sees 12 volts it's satisfied for a period of time therefore will produce spark at only 9 volts?
Just wondering if I should invest in a starter~solenoid or power pack.
