Q: I enjoyed Phil Mickelson's article about ignition systems in the November, 2006, issue of Snow Goer. My 1991 Ski-Doo Tundra has very weak spark that makes it hard to start. I changed the coil, but to no avail. I have tried several different spark plugs. Would the next thing be to change the condenser and/or the electronic box? I'm looking for a wiring diagram to see if any wires are partially shorted/weakened. Do you have any advice to improve the intensity of the spark? My sled is used for relatively short distances with extended stops as I use it mainly to carry my chainsaw to cut trees into blockwood to be picked up in the spring.
