How does one check the ignition coil and source coil? I am not getting a spark at all. I have checked continuity between plug/coil etc.
what kind of voltage reading should I get from these coils?[sm=confused.gif]

Is this a new motor? Maybe new to you? Have you run it before? The easiest way to check it is pull the plug, put the cap back on the plug, ground the plug to the block and spin the motor with an electric starter. Yes you can turn it over by hand but it's much easier to see the spark when you are not trying to spin it fast enough to get it to spark.

this engine has given me excellent service for several years. Dosent emit a spark when spun with the plug out and grounded. thanks for your help!

Ok good, so YOU know the engine has run. I doubt your source coil would be the problem. Do you have a local small engine shop? Zenoah engines are used in Redd Maxx power products. They may have a replacement coil or be able to get it cheaper than Horizon Hobby. The other option would be to go electronic ignition. CH sells a complete kit that uses the orignal source coil. This is what I have on my G62.

PM RC Ignitions on here, or call him, or wait for him to speak up on this thread:

He probably has buckets of OEM ignition parts for the 62 laying around. His prices are really good, service even better. I'm certain he'll take care of you.

thanks guys for the info!

I have been throwing G62 mag parts away for 21 years...I can send a source coil for shipping fee...Spark coils I still use..
Check the red wire from the source coil to the spark coil, and make sure the black wire is not connected to anything...The top screw on the source coil is the ground, it needs to be tight...

thanks! i will be in touch
