This is a Voltage tester, not a circuit tester

  • Anonymous May 06, 2010

    This is for testing voltages at outlets, switches, light fixtures and
    appliances. Not circuits.

23Hp Kawasaki on Gravely won't start. Has fire through plug wires, but not plugs???

If you're using a neon lamp type spark tester directly to chassis or engine block then, yes they can light with current that is insufficient to effect sufficient spark. Try connecting in series with the plug or use a gap type tester or the actual plug.

The Kawasaki v-twin uses two separate ignition modules (magnetos with electronics) and although not impossible it is unlikely both would fail at the same time or one would fail and stop the other from working.

It is more likely a safety circuit is causing the no run state. For this model, locate the RUN relay and check that the WHT/BLK wire (magneto kill) is open circuit to ground (engine block). If there's continuity to ground then magnetos are killed. Ignition switch OFF or PTO switch ON and seat not occupied are other kill states.

See parts diagrams for schematic.

Can i use this tester to check for any live wires. im installed a new light fixture on my porch from existing wiring but lights not tuning on

However, I can provide guidance on using a basic voltage tester to check for live wires when troubleshooting a light fixture installation.
Using a Voltage Tester:
Non-Contact Voltage Tester:
If you have a non-contact voltage tester, it's a handy tool for quickly identifying live wires without direct contact. Hold the tester close to the wire insulation or the terminal screws, and it should indicate the presence of voltage without making physical contact.
Contact Voltage Tester:
If you have a contact voltage tester, make sure it's designed for the voltage level you're working with (e.g., 120V for residential electrical systems).
Turn off the strength to the circuit on the circuit breaker or fuse box.
Safety First:
Always prioritize safety. Make sure the power is turned off before working on any electrical components.
Test the Tester:
Test the voltage tester on a known live circuit to ensure it's functioning properly.
Check the Wiring:
Once confirmed, turn off the power to the circuit you are working on.
Use the voltage tester to check each wire connected to the light fixture. Verify that there is voltage on the wires.
Neutral and Hot Wires:
Typically, a light fixture will have a hot wire (usually black) and a neutral wire (usually white). Make positive each wires are linked properly.
Ground Wire:
Check for a ground wire and ensure it's properly connected. Some light fixtures may have a green or bare copper wire for grounding.
Switch Position:
Ensure that the wall switch controlling the light fixture is in the ON position.
Bulb Check:
Confirm that the light bulbs in the fixture are working and properly installed.
Circuit Breaker Check:
Double-check the circuit breaker or fuse for the lighting circuit to make sure it hasn't tripped or blown.

Circuit tester when plugged into 3 pronged plug, comes up with 2 green lights and 1 yellow light. There is no code on other side of tester to access this problem

Circuit analyzer does not show all possible problems, and tester might be defective.
Use analyzer on other outlets.
Buy another circuit analyzer.
Buy a multimeter at local hardware, and test for voltage, and continuity, and compare with known outlet that are functioning correctly.
For example outlet may be 240Volt instead of 120V.
Copy following links to see typical circuit analyzer and code:

Not getting power when plugged in.

Hi,you may as well checked socket connecting the source.Now try to diagnose the problem.Try to connect other appliances using the source where dishwashers initially connected.If it didn't work there is a problem with your socket.If it does work.You can check the continuity of the circuit of yuor dishwasher using an ELECTRICAL TESTER/MULTITESTER.Set it to OHMS then connect both ends of the tester .If reading moves.or tester pointer moves at least to the maximum value or at least 90% of it.It means it does work.no problem with the continuityI but If it moves more than its maximum amount short circuit happened within the circuit..Continuity will test if short circuit happend, if there is a continues connection within the circuit .It tests if IC's inside the circuit has not been short circuited due to overheating..hope this helps..

Have a GE gas dryer and I just replaced the ignighter. The dryer worked twice before it stoped glowing. How can I test the coils to see if this is the problem.

You'll need a circuit tester which is able to reach the ignitor. Check the circuit to ensure adequate amps reach ignitor coil. If the tester indicates a fault or short any new ignitor will simply fail after a use or 2. Also check the gas line were it enters the dryer. Many have an auto shutoff which cuts the gas off if it detects a problem. Some models also cut power as well.

I have 6 outlets that do not work.

I would start by determining if these 6 outlets are on the same circuit. Also I am usually not too confident in the non contact voltage tester you are using. They tend to give false positives if they contact anything or even if you move them fast. I would invest in an inexpensive multimeter whcih will allow you to test actual voltage across the poles and ground and also check for continuity between poles/ground (WITH CIRCUIT OFF ONLY).

Did these outlets previously work properly?
