Some Ignitions will fire once when you turn the batt switch on.Not every time,just depends how the SCR sets when high voltage comes up.
this why we say stay stay clear of the prop or grasp it firmly when turning on the Ignition.There is really no power connection to the coil untill you fire the SCR.You can test the ignition by shorting the white and black wire going to the hall sensor,when you brake this connection the ign should fire once.Still does not mean for sure Hall sensor will trigger the Ign.Just use a horse shaped wire cut from a paper clip to short white and black wire in Hall sensor leaad coming from the ign box.DO NOT short black and red wire will get hot and you will let the smoke out.There should be batt voltage on the red wire and slightley less then batt voltage on the white wire.If no voltage on the white wire there is a Ign problem.Of course this is done with the Ign switch on.The Hall switch and Ign testor that RCEXL sells works fine if you can figure out his instructions.If you get one spark when you turn the Ign on does pretty much mean the Ign is working.But some Igns will not spark every time off and on.You should not get a shock when doing thses tests but no guarantees
