penno350 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 I have recently got hold of a 159 which has been stored for a few months but was definitely a runner (and I can trust the guy I got it from). If I crank it over with the plug on the head I can't get a spark. I can't see anything obvious, the points check out with a multi meter and have tried a spare ignition coil which made no difference and have also tried more than 1 plug. For the wiring into the 'chocolate block' is it correct that the red cable from the flywheel magneto goes to the black lead in the ignition coil? Any advice gratefully received.

the addict Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Have you tried disconnecting the kill switch yet, most common problem for no spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
