    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Need help with signal generator testing

Before I pull the trigger on a new signal generator for my gs500 I wanted to test it first. I tried my multimeter on the 2000 setting but the only reading I got was 1. I set it to 20K and got 2.03 on one side and 2.08 on the other. Does this sound like a shot generator?

A little background: only sparks on the right cylinder, new coil, ignitor, and plug didn't fix the problem.

You are better off to test in in circuit.

Put a volt meter or test light on the negative side or each coil. The voltage should swing between coil voltage (+12V) to close to ground as you turn over the engine. Check one then the other. If that happens you are golden.

With the test light, the light will go on and off. It should spark when the light comes on or when the voltage goes high.
