fire to plugs 214 green diamond

wires all gone on my 1949 kb2 rewired off diagram but no fire to plugs not sure if coil is good how do you check it what could be wrong need help thanks in advance skip57

I would pull the coil wire out of the center of the distributor cap and hold it near the block while someone hits the starter switch and see if you get a spark from the wire to the block. Or you can pull one of the spark plug wires and do the same thing. You should get a spark from either one.

If no spark, check rotor/cap for buildup of carbon. No carbon, probably a bad coil. Just my guess.

thanks again for info

tried what you said still no fire from coil,new coil,rotor button,distruber cap,plug wires.dont unstand shoud there be fire on both sides of coil with switch on also fire to distristuber everything wired by diagram,diagram does not show whitch wire goes to + and - on coil skip57

You do have it wired up for Positive ground, correct? Short of that, hopefully someone else with more knowledge can speak up

Do you know how to gap the points? If so check to see they are set correctly, probably not opening or dirty and not making contact when they close. Checking voltage on the coil you should have voltage going in, and voltage on the distributor side only when the points are open, once they close they ground creating a current flow through the coil. That causes a magnetic field in the coil, when the circuit is interrupted by the points opening the magnetic field collapses and creates the spark. With the points closed you can check spark from the coil by turning the key on and off and holding the coil wire close to a ground. Sometimes a guy will use a feeler gauge to adjust the points and they leave an oil film on the points which blocks current flow. If this happened you can lift them open with a fingernail and slip a piece of paper between the contacts, allow them to close on the paper and pull the paper out wiping the oil film off. Let us know how this turns out. MM

wired postive ground new points set at22 points clean still fire on doth sides coil points opened or closed do you think something ground out in distributor

With the points closed turn the key on and gently use an old screwdriver and touch the points on both sides of the contacts, should get a spark as they ground and complete the circuit, do a couple times and see if they are now making good contact. If that doesn't work, and something is grounded in the distributor as you asked, turn the key off and on while observing the coil wire close to a ground and it should spark. MM

thanks to all for info m m you are the man things are working fine now fire not passing through points correctly skip57
