So I tested the brand new condenser from John Deere using every means I could find on google, no resistance at all with a multimeter. Nor does the spare I bought today either. So I’m either testing it wrong or they’re both bad.
Everything else checks out fine. Cool, plug wires, new plugs. The leads from the dizzy to coil. Bypassed the switch. Yet no spark. Point is gapped to .022 as per the fsm. Rotor spins and is in time per the marks.
This on an old model 60 John Deere. Entire ignition system has been swapped out and still no spark. It’s a positive ground system as well. No ballast. Anyone got any theories?
