Wire broke from points

Recommended Posts

Anyone ever had the wire from the points to the coil break inside the points box? My GT-14 started backfiring and finally died. I took the spark plug out and found I had no spark. I've never put points in it, so I figured I'd start there. As soon as I took the cover off I found the wire had broke where the crimp on terminal goes on. The points still look new. It's back in action pushing snow last night.

Sure its pretty common as wires get old and brittle.

Yep, many times. 

 

On a side note, a clean set of old points are better than a fresh new mexico / chinese set.  Unless they are burned thru of course.
