ITzDarcy Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 i'm a bit lost hereOk so once i got my engine and everything back together, i gave the engine a whirl and got nothing. I now have come to the conclusion that i have no spark, because with a spark plug out and earthed i can see no spark.New spark plugsNew distributor/cap/rotorThings i have noticedthe balast resistor gets hot enough to the point where i cannot hold it without getting burned so bypassed it - is this normal?the coil also heats up alot without cranking, just with the keys in the "on" position.I'm wondering because i did fiddle around with the two relays on the inside of the engine bay - right side i think for america, left for australia. if they could be the problem. If not i'm stuffed to know why.I have a new coil coming as i thought it'd be nice to have a new one and also new spark plug leads.If anyone has any ideas it will be much appreciated.

ITzDarcy Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 ok so after many trials and errors, i by fluke left the old power cable unplugged off of my new electronic dizzy and it then gave spark. lucky something didnt break but it works now. fired first start, time to run it in.
