captainownage01 0 #1 Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I've finished the rebuild on my K181 and I have looked over an unimaginable number of diagrams and images, but the engine has no spark. The starter works and turns the engine but I cannot for the life of me figure out why this is happening. Does anyone have an idea of what could be wrong? Thanks Edited January 13, 2014 by captainownage01 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,950 #2 Posted January 13, 2014 The usual questions, do you have 12 volts at the (+) terminal of the coil? Do you have the (-) terminal connected to the points and condenser? Are the points set to .020"? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,136 #3 Posted January 14, 2014 Make sure you have a GOOD 12v at the coil. Don 't use a test light. Use a meter. If you don't believe me , see my thread Marvin 's dilemma ! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captainownage01 0 #4 Posted January 14, 2014 Thanks for the advice. I checked the points and they were sitting at .035 so that may have explained that. I have yet to try it out seeing as how it was about 10:30 last night when i got around to adjusting the points. Ill have to give it a shot when i get home and see what happens. This is my first wheel horse and it's the first time I've rebuilt an engine so I really appreciate all of the pointers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
