Pertronix ignitor cooking
Hi, left my bus sitting for 2 weeks and came to start it but the batt was dead so I tried to jump start it with normal leads not thinking about my
electronic ignition, it almost started but then just wouldnt run.... Have I cooked my pertronix ignition?
My coil is at about 3 ohms testing. How do you test the pertronix module?
Yes I have fuel and no fuses have blown in anything, it was running perfect prior to leaving it for two weeks so all I can think is I've blown my
ignition.....next step I guess is to put points in and see .....
Cheers in advance
Ian

I'm not an expert but i woudl not have thought so, the battery would have acted as some kind of shunt/resistor and as you said no fuses blown so does
not sound like there could have been a surge. A bit of a mystery i suppose do as you were going to changin the points and see how you go. Always good
to learn something.
