Trying to get a Wisconsin engine going in an old Hobart generator/welder.
It's a two cylinder with a distributor, points condenser, coil.
It's been decades since I have dealt with an engine with points.
The engine turns over, there is +12V at the ignition switch.
I turned it over spraying in starter fluid and no pop or anything. Put in one of the spark testers inline with a spark plugs and nothing. It's dark in barn so I would see a spark.
The +12V for ignition goes to the coil or the dist. to the points.
Where to check with my DVM? Coil should show ?? on primary and secondary for ohms? The condenser is only to cut back on arcing across the points so I can disconnect for initial testing? What should the condenser test on my capacitor tester?
