Ok so I’m officially stumped. Hooked coil directly to the battery, put an inline spark light in between coil and dizzy, no spark out of any of the brand new coils (3) nor the accel super coil that I know works off the Polara. What’s wrong
1. Let the wire from the ign. switch to the coil be on, and remove the one that goes to the distributor.
2. Connect a little loose wire to the post on the coil where the distributor was connected. On the other end you remove the isolation for 1/4 inch or whatever.
3. Take a spark plug wire you know work and connect to the coil, and a spark plug in the other end. Not to the distributor. Just from the coil to the spark plug, and hold the spark plug to ground.
4. Then take the loose end little wire and hold it towards ground, and then remove it fast. Do you now get a little weak spark ? Ignition have to be on and it has to be 12 volt on the coil.
By the way, do you have 12 or 6 volt on the John Deere ?
Now I need to run in the shower, then I will be out of the house for some hours before I am back and can help more.
