we are having problems. the feed going to the coil is getting fire, but when its plugged up to the coil, they aren't seeing spark at the plug boot. what is the extra black wire on the back of the coil for? is it an additional ground? I've had them check for fire about every way I can think of, and its just not sparking...

and the company that holds these engines charges tech support of $70 an hour.

WTF!

fugg it, i will just buy another coil and call it a day. however, i think my coil is missing something, because the one on the site looks like there is some type of bracket on it.... that i didnt get.

I just can't figure out where it goes. and would they test run the engine with that particular coil, or would they have a test stand set up and just plug the harness to that and use a standard coil and plug cap?

I had then use a test light and see if thats a plug wire ground like on some cars, and the test light didn't even flicker. if anyone has a clue, I'd appreciate it. I'm lost at this point.

hey wes, i am going to start another thread on this in the appropriate section, see if we can get some pointers. i called a local shop today and they said they cant get chinese motor parts and to order what i need online. i dont mind buying another coil, but if its not necessary and its something else we are overlooking then i dont want to spend that money if not necessary. oh and i gotta tell you about the absolutely WONDERFUL day i had today.

Now, sell that 70 motor on ebay and buy an exhaust and some other parts to make it really rip.
