Ignition Coil Verification
STATIC TEST
NOTE:
An ignition coil with good resistance mea-
surement can still be faulty. Voltage leak can occur
at high voltage level which is not detectable with
an ohmmeter.
717 Engines
Primary Winding
1. Primary side
2. Secondary side
3. Ground plate
Disconnect the wire connectors on primary side
of the ignition coil.
Using a multimeter, check the resistance between
the primary side connectors of the coil.
The resistance should be 0.34 to 0.62
Ω
at 20°C.
If not within specification, replace the ignition coil.
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
Using a multimeter, check the resistance between
the two high tension leads with the spark plug
caps removed.
The resistance should be 12 ± 3 K
Ω
at 20°C.
NOTE:
A short circuit will read 0 ohm (or close to)
on ohmmeter.

Primary Winding
IGNITION COIL
1. Primary side
2. Secondary side
3. Ground wire
Disconnect the wire connector on the primary side
of the ignition coil.
Using a multimeter, check the resistance between
the terminals 1 and 2. Repeat a resistance test be-
tween terminals 2 and 3.
The resistance should be 0.3 to 0.6
Ω
at 20°C.
If not within specification, replace the ignition coil.
If the ignition coil test good, check the power sup-
ply on the primary side.
Disconnect the ignition coil 3-pin connector. Check
to see if there is approximately 6 Vdc between the
RED wire and engine ground.
If there is no voltage, either the MPEM or the wir-
ing harness is defective.
Secondary Winding
Due to the integrated diode, it is not possible to
take any resistance measurement of the second-
ary winding on the

.
DYNAMIC TEST
All Models
Use an ignition coil tester, available from after-
market tool/equipment suppliers.
CAUTION:
Do NOT use coil tester on metal work
bench. Follow manufacturer instructions.
