The Backwoods No Start Opus

Yes on the cap, coil, wires, plugs all replaced. I am going to get the voltmeter tomorrow.

The wires are all installed the way they were taken off. I did one at a time.

If the spark is orange is that bad? Blue is good but I thought I saw orange tonight.

Thanks for the help.....

Did you load test the battery? Does it have a full charge on it?

Yes full charge. I did hear from a buddy that I need to get an OEM cap. That Aftermarket brands do not have the tolerances that OEM does?

I'll report back in the am. This has me seriously skunked.

Ok the green beast is running! I went back to square one. Looked at timing, it was a bit off. Then of all things I noticed the metal disc inside the distro cap was hitting on the cps jacket. So no revolutions of the disc through the cps= no spark.

I got a neihoff, neiderhoff? cps from checkers that I thought I had formed to allow the turning of the metal disc. I guess not. So I got out the handy box knife and trimmed it to fit/bend do it would not hit.

Thank you all for the help. It was a good education!
