Primary Winding
GTS Model
Due to the integrated CDI module, it is not possi-
ble to take any resistance measurement.
All Other Models
1. Remove the 2 female spade connectors from
the primary side of the ignition coil.
2. With the multimeter set on the resistance scale,
connect the meter probes to the primary termi-
nals of the coil.
3. Resistance should be between 0.34 - 0.62 ohm.
Secondary Winding
The spark plug caps must be removed from high
tension cables, because they are resistor caps.
The cap resistance is 4.48 K ohms.
1. Resistor cap
2. High-tension cable
NOTE: A short circuit will read 0 ohm (or close to)
on ohmmeter.
DYNAMIC TEST
All Models Except GTS
Use an ignition coil tester, available from after-
market tool/equipment suppliers.
1. With ignition coil removed from craft, discon-
nect spark plug caps from high tension cables.
2. Hook high tension leads from tester to ignition
coil high tension cables.
3. Connect 2 smaller tester leads to primary of ig-
nition coil.
TYPICAL
1. Leads to secondary
2. Leads to primary
4. Turn power switch to 12 volts and you should
observe spark jumping at a predetermined gap
of 7 to 8 mm (.276 to .311 in).
If there is no spark, if it is weak or intermittent, the
coil is defective and should be replaced.
