Engine failures in conventional ignition system
The engine will not start and work well when conventional ignition system is misfire, the spark is weak, the fire is missing and the ignition advance regulator fails. Common engine faults may be caused by the ignition system. Engine failure in electronic ignition system will be discussed later.
1. The common problems that prevent engine starting
Ignition coil
There are open circuit and short circuit in the primary winding and secondary winding.
Distributor
(1) Rotor burning loss and leakage of electricity.
(2) Distributor cap is dirty, damaged and leakage of electricity.
(2) Distributor cap is dirty, damaged and leakage of electricity.
High voltage wire
(1) Damage of high voltage wire result in leakage, loose, fracture.
(2) The high-voltage wire is inserted incorrectly.
The spark plugs
(1) Spark plug carbon deposition.
