my ke20 wont start, it gets power to the startermotor and that turns over, but i can't get any spark from my leads, there is power going to the coil but nothing coming out of it.

 

so i guess what i am saying is what makes the coil colapse and make that huge aount of voltage come out?

Have a good long look at your points and make sure when you crank it over they are opening and closing, possibly fit a new set if your current ones are old..

Ok is this something that has just happened or is it a car you purchased in this state?

 

Remove a spark plug pull the dizzy to coil lead and plug spark plug into lead so it is at the coil. Make sure no fuel around, crank motor does it spark? If not check points as mentioned above, make sure they are gapped correctly, if you wish to check cruedly then use hacksaw blade as gap, this will at least get it running. When gapping make sure the points are on a cam open (thus open). once fixed try turn over again, spark? if not then potential coil. Do you have another car to steal coil from temporarily. Post results.. :)

 

Cheers

will try that and get back 2 you guys, thanks
