FJ62 Ignition problems, please help
G'day, I have an '85 FJ62 cruiser and I have been having a few problems lately. First of all, it was starting to run rough and spitting out unburnt fuel so it wasn't sparking all cylinders then a couple of weeks ago it wouldn't start at all.
It has quite a lot of k's on it so I wanted to change most of the ignition parts anyway so now I have changed the spark plugs, the ignition coil, the ballast resistor, the condenser and the points and set all the gaps according to a workshop manual. The leads were already near new.
Now with testing, I am getting the right power from the positive and negative of the coil on accessories and when cranking but there is no spark from the lead to the dizzy when cranking except for one spark when stopping cranking.
If anyone can help with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Stubbs

check to make sure the points arnt dirty i know there new but still have a film on them when packeged
also with ign on open and close the points with a screwdrive and see if you get an ark at the points theis means they are switching andsupplying to the coil
oh ....check the way you put the pointas and condenser to dizzy as ive done it before put the tab behind the insulator caused a short
( the bolt through the side)

no it should spark as its the switch for the ign voltage to the coil turning each cly on and of to create spark timing
