Kid with a wheelhorse 2 #1 Posted 1 hour ago (edited) Hi all I have recently acquired a C-145 automatic and it is in good mechanical shape but it does not have spark I have replaced the starter coil and magneto coil as well as the key switch and the solenoid and eveything is up to spec what should I do thanks Edited 1 hour ago by Kid with a wheelhorse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 17,613 #2 Posted 1 hour ago When replacing the key switch, did you replace it with the correct one. There is a difference between a switch for a magneto ignition, and a battery ignition. However, you said you replace the ignition coil and the magneto coil. There can only be one or the other. A magneto system has no ignition coil and vice-versa. So lets try to figure out what you have. Do you have the ID number for the C-145? What is the year? Which engine does it have? Do you have the spec number from the engine? I'm sure we can get you going if we have the right info. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid with a wheelhorse 2 #3 Posted 41 minutes ago It is a 1-14259 and I replaced the switch with a 5 pin 3 position should be a 1980 model year with a k321AS and spec is 60362d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 21,222 #4 Posted 34 minutes ago That spec is a battery points ignition with a 15 amp Stator for charging. The regulator you have sitting loose is not the correct one.. The finned one mounted on the hoodstand is. Run a jumper from Battery+ to the + terminal on the coil crank it and see if you get spark, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kid with a wheelhorse 2 #5 Posted 29 minutes ago (edited) I have gotten power there when I was working on it Edited 27 minutes ago by Kid with a wheelhorse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 21,222 #6 Posted 23 minutes ago If you had power on the coil and no spark next thing is points... Make sure they are opening and closing and clean them up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 48,217 #7 Posted 8 minutes ago C-145 has a fuse taped into the wire harness in the area between the starter and regulator. Check that for the heck of it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
