I'm learning that now. A bad wire would not activate the coil in the first place. I probably did suggest a bad coil. You were right and I was wrong.

I have someone coming over to help me out with bypassing it all together. I hear this doesn't hurt anything. But as of not I am having a returning problem of blowing ignition "links."

 

why bypass it? figure out why that wire is not getting power. not 100% sure but that ign fuse might be what is supplying that choke coil power. but not sure. Forgot to look today been busy with thanksgiving stuff and holiday decorations lol.

 

Thanks for all the ideas, but it turned out to just be a bad alternator. I had no idea, but sure enough the fuse stopped blowing, and the idle kicks down again.

 

so I guess that confirms the ign fuse supply's voltage to the choke coil correct? good thing you looked into why that fuse was blowing instead of bypassing that choke huh?
