I have a 2007 Nissan 3.5 4 cycle that is hardly broken in. I had trouble with it from the get go and got stranded numerous times when it conked out.
Nobody wanted to do Warranty service on it and I ended up paying for it. I have not used it for the last few years but brought it home and fired it up after cleaning the carb and checking everything.
It run fine at home in the bucket in neutral but still did not excellerate much beyond half throttle. I put it on the boat and drove it at low speed just
above idle and it was doing well for 40 minutes. When I tried to bring the speed up to about 60% throttle it died on me again and would not start. I had to paddle back to my dock. I tried to restart it 30 min later and it came up just a bit and died. After that it would not start.
I took it home and I cleaned out the carburetor again. It was spot clean. I cleaned the inline filter close to the fuel cock, I put a new sparkplug in and
tested the spark. There was no spark using the tester and also with the plug against ground. I ordered a Igniter coil to replace my coil 3AB06040-0 and received a 3AB060410 new 2weeks later. I put the new coil in and gapped it with 0.010"using a business card resulting in no spark. I checked the kill switch and it is working showing continuity when pressed in and none with the lanyard attached. I tried to wiggle and find any shortage or miscontact on the switch.
There was none. I disconnected the brown cable and no spark. I disconnected the kill switch and no spark. Given the fact that this motor and any component is as clean and new as the ones in any showroom I started measuring the Ohm resistance in the" old" coil and in the new coil.
Here they are: Old coil: Black wire to Plug wire 6.9 K Ohm. Ground to Plug wire 6.9K Ohm. Brown Cable to Plug wire ,nothing. Brown to ground nothing.
Brown cable to black cable nothing. Black to ground 0 Ohm. When i had the switch wires connected and pushed the switch I had continuity from brown
to black and to ground as it is supposed to be and none with the lanyard attached.
The new coil had the same results but the secondary measured 7.3 K Ohms and the black wire to ground was 1.2 Ohm for whatever reason.
I do not know what the correct Ohm measurements should be and I am waiting for the Repair Manual I ordered and is supposed to arrive Aug.4
Here goes the Summer again without a boat. Could anyone please give me a hand and tell me if the Ohm specs are good on these coils and if not I can at least send the new coil back and get another one. By the way, the magnets on the flywheel feel pretty strong too.
Please help
