Hi everyone!
I picked a (another)160cc Victa engine, the full crank one with points ignition. It was just a bare engine, no cowlings, carb or even decompresser. The problem is that is has no spark, I have got a tiny little spark out of it twice with the plug lead less than half a mil away from the metal. Also if I plug the lead into my spark tester(which is more or less a light bulb that clips between the end of the lead and either the spark plug or the block) then the tester flashes(showing there is electricity going though it). How ever, there is not enough spark to jump across a spark plug gap. So I pulled the flywheel off and it all looked okay, everything was very clean! I swapped the condenser from a dead 125 I have and still exactly the same problem, cleaned the points, same again. I swapped the whole 125 ignition system over and still the same problem! I even tried the 125 flywheel!
I've been trying to pull the flywheel off another dead points ignition 160 but no luck so far.
Any ideas what the problem is? The 160 has no kill switch wire if that helps (neither did the 125). The 160 also had the mount for a plastic carb.
Also, what should I torque the flywheel nut to?
Thanks
Hayden
