New to CC, 1330; No spark
 

Hello everyone,
I am a happy first time owner of a CC.The previous owner had it parked for hydro issues( that will be a later battle to tackle), but it seems the 12.5 Kolar has no spark. I have run a tester to the coil and no juice.After doing some reading, I removed coil, cleaned the minimal surface rust, reinstalled using business card, checked oil level( read there could be a sensor) and checked all wire connectors. The white wire that feeds into the coil had no power at any time. Does anyone know if it should?

:Welcome2:

It's not a coil, it's a magneto. No, no power goes to it..... EVER. The white wire is a ground wire. It runs to the key, (by way of safety switches) and when in the off position, it grounds the wire and kills the spark.

If it has no spark either:
1.) The mag has failed
2.) There is an issue in the "OFF" circuit, and the mag is constantly grounded.

You can disconnect the white wire at the mag, or at the connector on the outside of the engine and check for spark. NOTE: With this disconnected, the key will not shut the engine off.

Awesome...Thank you...I disconnected wire, still no power. Looks like I'm in the market for a new magnito.

Welcome to OCC! Good luck with your 1330.
