 |
|
I have at least two bad leads on one of my mags and wanted to test them with a hi voltage lead tester I borrowed. I just installed these leads with a new auto plug conversion kit and suspect they have a poor connection at the mag cap.
One of these bad leads is to the spark plug with the CHT temp sensor, which shows the cylinder is VERY cold when running on just that plug. This was verified with a temperature gun. The spark plug is brand new.
I hooked up the tester according to the instructions and it shows both suspect leads are good. I was puzzled by that and so I disconnected the tester from the plug lead, held the test connector in the air, and pushed the test button on the tester. It buzzes and sparks showing a good lead. ???
Is this normal? It doesn't give me confidence that the tester is working properly.
Also, just out of curiosity, could one of you electrical wizards explain how this lead tester works...in words a math major can understand.
