Breakerless Igniton trigger testing

[pfrederi 17,147]

There have been a couple question recently about how to test the trigger in a Breakerless iginiton system.  Working triggesr are worth money so it is best to test before you discard.

 

Manual calls for a flashlight tester which I doubt many of us have.  Here are a couple of pictures to show how you can easily make one up.  All you need is a couple batteries and old incandescent flashlight bulb (I use a PR2) and some alligator clip jumper wires.

 

First picture show hook up to test the diodes  second the switch.
