Subject:testing Hall sender
From:Raymond Paquette

Hello

Testing my Hall sender as per Bentley (28.43).

"-connect voltage tester US 1115 to center and outer contacts of Hall sender
connector
-operate starter and check signal from Hall sender
-if LED flickers, Hall sender is okay"

Well, I just have a 12v test light, not a US 1115 (whatever that is).
And it flickers when I check the center (green wire) with one of the outer
contacts (brown wire), but not when I check the center with the other (red
wire).

I have the sender plugged in, and am accessing the wires through the
backside of the pulled up boot. I have 12 when I unplug and just check the
outer contacts.

Since Bentley says "outer contacts" I assume this to mean that I should get
flickering with the center-and either outer contact, but I only get one
side.

Is this right?
Is my Hall sender bad?
Is this inconclusive?
Or am I just screwing up?

Oh, the thing won't run, seems to have gas, seems not to have spark.

Thanks
Ray
