Re: no spark,. stator ,mercury switch

Then you have proved that the CDI module is GOOD.

Yet when connected to the distributor trigger there is NO SPARK when cranking, you have a problem with the trigger.

well just for the record that means the coil is good too?the wires were ripping out of the distrubtor .i was hoping it was the distrubtor.well not hoping but the wires were so old,i was quessing.

Re: no spark,. stator ,mercury switch

hey i got a used stator but can in these pics i took show if its ok to use it has broken insulation? i guess its what it is exposing the wound wire .or does that just happen?its only on 3 or 4 .

anyone check this stator pics .does it look ok to install?

ok got spark but will not start ?put the distrubtor in .

Re: no spark,. stator ,mercury switch

You have proved that the CDI box and the coil are good, now you need to reconnect the distributor and test for spark again on the coil wire.

If you NO spark then you have a problem in the trigger.

If spark, then test for spark one each plug wire.

If no spark on the plug wires then you have a problem wire the distributor cap and/or wires.

DO NOT attempt to remove the rotor from the distributor, most models the rotor is a permanent part of the shaft, attempting to remove it will break it. This shaft/rotor parts is no longer available and very expensive, IF you can find one.

ok working stator put on and distrubtor the trigger was bad .had no spark.NOW i have spark but it wont start.

Re: no spark,. stator ,mercury switch

Now that you have spark on ALL spark plug wires you need to ensure that the distributor is indexed to the crank flywheel so that each spark is at the right cyl close to the right TIME.

Look at the top of the distributor pulley, find the curved line, across the top, rotate the flywheel to TDC and see if that curved line matches the curve of the outside of the flywheel.

Next, use a timing light attached to the top cyl (#1) REMOVE ALL SPARK PLUGS and ground them so the motor cannot start. Disconnect the throttle cable and wire the throttle arm wide open so that timing is fully advanced.

Crank and check WOT Timing.

Reinstall plugs, reconnect throttle cable and start.

Remember, the stacked 6's like fuel and often need LOTS of choke before lighting off.

Thank you to everyone who has wrote some answers they helped me a lot with my engine rewiring

R-3 It would have been nice to start a new thread about your problems instead of posting in a 9 year old thread just to say thanks.
