Okay kids,
I'm at home with daughter #2 (who has a 102 fever), missing out on the
family Easter feast :(
I figure while she is down for a nap, I'll swap out my questionable
original solenoid for the new one I just got. Sounds like a fairly easy
swap...no? Justunplug wires and plug in on new solenoid, fasten down cables
and solenoid to firewall.
Turn the key...cranks just fine, but only wants to catch when I release
the key. Pull off coil wire and test for spark. Get initial spark as key
turns to starter motor position, but no spark while cranking. Get another
spark as I turn key off.
How did I do this? What wires did I inadvertantly misfit? A little
background re: ignition:
Mallory Dual point dizzy
Mallory coil
Crane EI Sytem
Mallory ballast resistor
All fully functional this morning before I swapped out the solenoid. Help
me Dan Masters...wherever you are
Thanks in advance, I'll be sitting here waiting for the Masters to resume
till I get some assistance
