1995 evinrude model e50tleod getting 1.5 volts @coil,no spark.there are also 2 relays next to the rectifier.battery good,fuses all good, ground's good.Did hook up 1 of the negative wires to pos.Hoping I missed a fuse or did it fry the power pack?
hello<br /> coil primary voltage should be someplace above 130 volts. anything below about 60 cant produce a secondary voltage. the digital meter cant react fast enough to see the voltage peak.<br /> the voltage is not stepped up in the power pack just rectified and stored. its a garbage in garbage out type deal. the secondary side of the coil normally produces 5-7Kv. its capeable of more but normally not. and yes there is a meter for that as well <br />Rodbolt likes meters <br /><br /> ya really should buy a service manual like the seloc or clymer that has a description of how a CD ignition works or at least look at the yamaha post I made yesterday about a pro-V.
Thanks rodbolt,gettin the manual is easy but tryin to scam a new meter this close to christmas might be tricky to get by the wife.I'll root around at work and see if a friendly neighbourhood electrician can help me out.Checked out your post on the yammy too,which helped,thanks again for the info,cheers...
