Coleman Vertex 7500 Generator Parts Manual
Coleman Vertex 7500 Generator Manual
Ok, so I was monumentally stupid yesterday morning. I hooked up my new battery to my Coleman Vertex 7500 backwards, and tried to crank the engine.
Well, I realized my mistake after the second attempted crank (sigh)
Generator wont start now. The engine turns over, but I get zero spark out of the spark plug lead. I've tested my coil with an ohm meter, and I think I'm getting 7-10 ohms when It should be 2-5. But bugger me if I'm reading it correctly. The ohm meter was made in 1965...
I've not been able to find the specific resistance the magneto-armature should be at. the 2-5 ohm was something I read somewhere...
I pulled the electrical panel off and inspected all my wiring. The ground wire that runs from the ignition switch to the chassis was completely melted in the molex connector. I was able to fix that. No other physical damage was apparent.
I've already ordered my new coil, but I'm interested in what you guys think. Did I fudge the bucket on this one? Should I throw my generator, along with myself, down a steep hill?
Engine is a Briggs and Stratton 28n777-1194-E1
