ok i went through and pulled the ignition coil off. I think i know have a better understanding of how to use my ohm meter. lol. I first tested the power coming into the coil with the key in the on positon. I got a reading of 12 Volts.
Next i tested the "Primary terminal" on the igniton coil (the slot for the power connection, the one on the right) with the positive in the bottom connector and the negitive one the body of the ignition coil i got a infinate ohms reading.
next came the primary connector/ both positive and negative in the connector. i got a reading of 1.0 to 1.2 ohms. With both of these the OHM meter is set to lowest.
finally i tested the coil resitance by placing one connector on the primary connector and the other on the terminal. and got a reading of 008. (the OHM meter was set to highest.
according to the specs in the manual these should read
Primary resistance 0.3 to 1.3 OHMs
secondary 5,000 to 10,000 OHMs
any thoughts? or did i just confuse everyone else. I think my ignition coil is fine. I have to be missings something.
