Re: 1994 440 No start
Hi Merry Christmas to you. Yes I did say I have no spark. I have held the coil wire away from a good earth, while supplying power to the starter & no spark is seen. Cheers Reg

Re: 1994 440 No start
I am leaning more and more to a faulty ignition switch. Try testing as I described in my previous post.
Bill.
In this test were you running a lead from the battery to the starter motor and was the ignition switch on or off? To get a spark you need the ignition on.I have held the coil wire away from a good earth, while supplying power to the starter & no spark is seen.

Re: 1994 440 No start
Hi happy new year to you, & thanks once again for your reply. Yes the ignition was turned on & I was supplying power from the battery. I also notice the ptrol gauge seems to keep going up to full, which I believe it to be & then dropping down to empty. Dont know wether this is connected. Cheers Reg

With the petrol gauge playing games I am leaning more than ever towards the ignition switch.
