RESISTANCE MEASUREMENTS
As an alternate method, magneto system compo-
nents can be checked with a digital ohmmeter.
NOTE: All resistance measurements must be
performed with parts at room temperature (borax.
20°C (68°F)). Temperature greatly affects resis-
tance measurements.
Disconnect connector at ignition coil and magneto
junction. Measure resistance between each ter-
minal. Refer to the following table for values and
wire colors.
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.
