Hello everyone.
I am the guy with the microlite 2.8 that starts and dies. I pulled the coil and the primary read 0.8 ohms and the secondary 1,150 ohms. There is a test for the voltage regulator but it requires a diode test meter. I installed an inline spark checker and the set starts with spark, the spark meter light dies and the engine dies. Does this sound like a bad coil or a bad voltage regulator? I can take the voltage regulator to cummins for testing but they are rude and often do not want to help you - especially if you are a do it your self type.
