Unhooked the tach and ran 3 primary ignitions with no spark. The guy had 3 keys and wiring harness not hooked tomy tachs and still nothing. If you put needle nose pliers on the coil it will get a weak spark. One the male and female connector is put together it looses spark. No idea. I was told it could of fried the rectofier or blew the fuse.. The inline 20 amp fuse is fine.
