Trying to get the onan to run I picked up yesterday. I figured
out the wires. I have power to the points but no spark when I
break the points apart. If I hold the points open and jump
across with something I get good spark. But with the points
closed if I break them manually or bu turning the engine I get
nothing. I've filed them and they are clean and I can jump
from pad to pad to get the spark. It's just that with the points
closed and opened I get nothing. Yes they touch and yes they
break open. But I have to touch them with metal to get spark. I
am trying to get new but no auto parts store has them. I hope
to get new at John Deere tomorrow, but that doesn't help
today. Hate to loose a day. Any ideas?
