(quoted from post at 20:57:38 10/31/23) That 1/4 inch seems to be a common
reference when it comes to fuel
flow or spark jump. No earthly idea
why. I have never seen a spark plug
with a 1/4 in gap. Never seen a
tractor that could burn a
continuous 1/4 in stream of fuel
either. Your spark is fine as
described. Any spark will ignite
compressed fuel and air. It doesn't
have to be a lightning bolt.
You are gonna get beat up with that answer and deserve it. I beat a few of my buds here to death and one finally came up with the right answer.
" These are the questions you need answered before you attempt any repairs or buy a new part.
It's called low hanging fruit, the easiest to pick. Why has life got to be so hard? A spark checker, a go no go gauge what is so hard about that.
Tricks, in just a few minuets of your time you can can determine the health of the circuit to provide current and switch the load. On a front mount you can open the battery door hook right at the ballast are go to the coil your call. Low hanging fruit I know exactly the direction I need to go. All by looking at a 4 amp headlight bulb in a mason jar.
I confirm/repair the circuit to good health out comes the spark checker. I actually put the checker on it first cuzz it was in my pocket when I went to check a no start condition. If i had strong spark no need to walk back to the shop for my light in a bottle. If I has weak/no spark take the walk : (
You can put an inductive (or regular) timing light on each plug wire to check each cylinders spark.
