I just picked up a (79-82? Model 64H9E) 6 horse Chrysler. The motor was used twice. It looks like it just left the factory; however I have no spark. I'm not familiar with the Chrysler ignition systems. I haven't 'popped' the flywheel yet as I'm hoping for some advice before I even get started. I noticed that there are virtually no coils (my first suspect) available. I noticed that there's also something called a 'trigger.' Any ideas on what to suspect, what to do and where to find the parts? thanks

Re: Chrysler 6 - no spark

Is it a points or electronic ignition?Post a couple of pics of the coils or power packs?
Sounds like the points are corroded.You'll have to take off the flywheel and clean the contacts.J

Thanks Captain jerryjerry05: You were right on the money. I popped the flywheel and 'dressed' the points (it has points, condensers and coils). I got spark at both cylinders and fired it up in two pulls. Everything under the flywheel looked like new. Thanks again!

Re: Chrysler 6 - no spark

Could you please explain what exactly you found the problem to be and how you fixed it? I have the same model motor and also have no spark. I took off the flywheel and don't know what I'm looking at or what to do. Everything looks to be alright, but I still don't have a spark in either plug.
