The Honda G300 engine may not have a spark after fitting new points, coil, and condenser due to several possible reasons:
1. Stop Wire Grounding – The thin black wire from the coil is the stop line. If it is continuously grounded, the engine will not spark. Checking with an ohm meter while moving the flywheel can help determine if the wire is shorted or squeezed somewhere.
2. Oil Sensor Cutoff – The G300 may have an oil level sensor that stops the engine if the oil is low. If this system is active, it could be preventing ignition.
3. Point Gap and Connection Issues – Even if new points are installed, they must be correctly gapped and making proper contact. Checking with a meter can confirm if they are functioning.
4. Faulty or Incorrect Components – If the new coil or condenser is defective or incompatible, it may not generate a spark. Ensuring compatibility and testing with known working components can help diagnose the issue.
5. Spark Plug Issues – Trying different spark plugs is necessary to rule out a faulty plug.
If all these factors are checked and the issue persists, further troubleshooting of the ignition system wiring and grounding may be needed.
