Thanks for the shout out! That was a great video explaining that tool. Its been a handy tool for sure and is a lot better than the way my Grandpa taught me to check for spark. He would just hold the plug wire and see if he got zapped.

My dad (unfortunately he just passed away 2 months ago) taught me with the plug lying against the cylinder head, and look for spark. I was about 10yrs old, working on my first "real" dirtbike, a 1977 Yamaha YZ80. I made the mistake of holding the plug against the cylinder head with my hand! Yikes!! He watched me do it to teach me why we don't do it that way! Lesson Learned!!!

I think you have just, inadvertantly, solved my problem with this gadget bout 2 weeks ago in the U.K. for £50. You didnt even start the engine, just pulled the cord once. Ive been starting the engine and let it run. The colour goes to green then yellow. Yellow means bad plug or HT lead. But one machine has a new plug and new coil with HT lead... I think it's not been made clear that you just pull the cord and if the engine starts switch it off!! Thank!!

You’re welcome! Yes, the instructions say to quickly remove it if the engine starts. Or to turn the engine off. One of the two. It’s been a long time since I checked the manual :)

I am an atv mechanic, far too often I will pull the plug lay it on the block and see spark but can’t get the engine to fire, painful to admit but quite often I don’t even think about what I’ve learned with other bikes I’ve worked on. What happens is in the position of the wire hooked to the spark plug there is no continuity, but with the wire in a different position it works. Maybe this thing could simplify this. Atv’s are considerably more complicated but you still start with the same method, spark, fuel, compression

@@VintageEngineRepairs Yes they are. At first, I made a place for it in my Toolbox. Now it lives in a cup on my workbench just as you get into my garage, right beside the feeler gauge. If it had a clip, it would probably live in my shirt pocket. I went to buy a second one last night on Scamazon, and they said that it was no longer available, and all of the reviews under it were for a totally different product. I almost panicked. I couldn't remember where I'd ordered it from, couldn't find a link or even the receipt in my email folders (I ALWAYS save those). And that's what brought me back here. I'm so glad you pinned that link. I've come to depend on it and need to keep a spare in case something happens to the original. (They've gone up $20 U.S. in the last year. Wow.) Hope you and yours are doing well. Have a great week and I'll catch you later!

It’s good but it has a shortcoming in comparison to using a timing light with an inductive pickup. That is that the most common fault with spark plugs, is that they intermittently or occasionally miss fire. This tool would likely signal that the spark was satisfactory. On the other hand, the timing light would show a miss firing plug by the absence of a flash.
@VintageEngineRepairs
@VintageEngineRepairs Месяц назад
Yeah very different tools. A timing light isn’t for seeing if there is spark or how strong spark is.
@djlord9189
@djlord9189 Месяц назад
@@VintageEngineRepairs it doesn’t show how strong the spark is, you’re right. But it does show if the spark plug is sparking, and if it’s missing at all. A timing light will only flash if the spark plug actually makes a spark.
@VintageEngineRepairs
@VintageEngineRepairs Месяц назад
@djlord9189 yes but don’t forget that at 10,000 rpm, you won’t distinguish a miss on a timing light. A timing light even at 3000 rpm appears constantly on to the human eye. It has to miss a lot to distinguish.

@@VintageEngineRepairs Yes, it’s true, that when I use this to identify spark misfires on Aircooled VW engines, I’m not ever revving them more than 2500 - 3500rpm. And mostly the misfire can be identified at idle. I’m never attempting to identify this type of fault at 10,000 rpm.

@VintageEngineRepairs
@VintageEngineRepairs Год назад
Its certainly an investment Al! Just remember that under compression it’s far harder for a spark to jump a gap. So you may get good spark holding the plug to ground, but the engine won’t run with the plug screwed in and compression.

@rolfgrosseholz1311
@rolfgrosseholz1311 Год назад
The coil will provide as much energy as it needs to find the ground. A broken wire can be jumped but requires more energy to do so. A plug with high resistance would trigger high voltage. And perhaps an engine with a failed decompressor. That's only a maybe. A plug that is set too wide perhaps.

If you can’t see the spark due to being the other side of the lawn mower, or it’s too bright, and you chase your tail, it can lead to unnecessary expense and time. I have been there, own 3 different spark testers, one that’s more expensive than this and they have their place. For a quick and easy test this wins every time. If you want to put load on coil to test across it’s full range, an adjustable inline is great.
