This Continental FS162 engine has been running for about a year that I've had it, but now will no longer start. I can not get a spark. It is a 6 volt positive ground system (I think) and have replaced coil, cap, points, rotor, wires, plugs. Still no spark. I also ripped out all old wiring harness and ran new wiring to ignition and starter switch to coil and regulator. Old wiring was in terrible shape cracked everywhere and taped together. I left all gauges un-connected, even ammeter, to eliminate as many variables as possible. I re-wired to these specs: http://www.fergusonenthusiasts.com/wiring/TO_30_6V_Continetal_gas.pdf Without the headlights or other gauges in the circuit. I know voltage regulator is probably bad as well since contacts were severely pitted. Can I just bypass the voltage regulator since batttery is severly discharged now anyway to get it running? But will a bad regulator cause a no spark condition? Can I jump start this 6 volt with a 12 volt battery/charger engine starter? Or do I need a 6 volt battery charger?
