1969 Stinger no spark
Posted: Thu Mar 01, 2018 11:14 am
Hello,
I am restoring a 69 T-125 Suzuki stinger and have no spark. I removed the stator and cleaned the fly wheel magnetic surfaces. I cleaned and checked the point gap. I have continuity between the coils and the points. New plugs. I expect to see 6 volts to the coils when I roll the motor, but get none. I am an experienced two stoker and auto restoration guy but I have some questions.
1. Will this engine start without a battery?
2. Is checking for votage at the coil a good test?
The ignition switch is not hooked up at this time. I have pluged in all the wires from the stator and ensure no other wires are grounded.
On another note, does anyone have the timing and point gap specifications? A pic from the service manual. On still another note, I may take this engine down. Is there anybody that does some hop up things such as porting for this bike?
