Magnaspark crank trigger question.

Post by Mattitude »

I'm having some issues starting the engine I just built and im wondering if it has to do with my magnaspark crank trigger setup. I have it all setup, I have the gap right on the crank sensor and it set on correct tooth when at TDC. I have spark and I have fuel but I don't have any fire at all. I also have the ECM on the preset map for duel carbs. The engine isn't even trying to start. Is there anything you guys can think of that might be the issue?

Do you get an RPM signal on the laptop screen while cranking the engine?

Yeah the laptop is reading the RPM signal. I'm pretty stumped :?
