cannot get this truck to start
My b2200 is so basic yet it has stumpt me. I changed the head gasket after it overheated on the freeway, I live in the northwest (Shelton Wa.)
anyhoot, I disasembled the whole top end, but my idiot self did not take the head in to get milled. well the head gasket blew again. so apart it came again.
only this time I took the wires of the coil and didnt mark them, thinking I know my truck right? well I have 5 wires to the coil and no spark, or very week spark to the plugs. ( 1-ignition, to the + of coil, 1-ballast 1+ 1-, bluewire fro coil- to ignition moduel, 1 yelow wire from coil- to ignition moduel ) and then a condensor coil+to ground. and the coil is mounted to the engine block. have I got it wrong? I could use a coach at this point. I am going to try to eliminate the ballast and see if that makes a differenxe. any pointers? thanks!
