got no spark...

[maximo]

somebody has got to be able to give me a test that i can do to find out whats the problem w/ my electrical system. check the condenser by doing this... or check the points by doing this... you get the picture. so is there some wise old timer out there that can enlighten my sorry ass!
thanx alot

Well, I might not be an old timer, but are your points and flywheel air space gapped propperly? Have you used a multimeter to test conductivity, and see if you are generating any current?

We need more info, bro.

the chainsaw i got is an antique wright c-50 and don't have a manual would anyone happen to know the proper air gap for the points and flywheel.?,also how is the test performed to check for conductivity?
thanx!

From what I can find, the points gap is .015, and the flywheel airgap is fixed (non-adjustable) on that saw.

You use a multimeter to test for conductivity, and to see if your coil is generating any juice at all. Google it, and you'll find all the specifics you may need.

Did you get it fixed?

You need to meditate. Sit on the floor, cross your legs and chant- Ohm, Ohm, Ohm.
What is it for something like that 6k?

Just try it and don't ask questions.

Hey, man, just wondering if the guy had any luck. You go ahead am OHM, OHM yourself, I'll stick with a few cold ones and AS.

Allright, so you didn't get my joke? OHM = resistance. Come on I know I really am not that funny but you had to know what I was talking about.

Ok, that is actually pretty good. Any other day I would have gotten that, but today's been one of those . . . :censored:
