SUMMARY TABLE 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 tempera-
ture (approx. 20°C (68°F)). Temperature greatly af-
fects resistance measurements.
Disconnect connectors at ignition coil and magne-
to junction. Measure resistance between each
terminal. Refer to the following table for values
and wire colors.
NOTE : An ignition coil with good resistance
measurement can still be faulty. Voltage leak
can occur at high voltage level which is not detect-
able with an ohmmeter.
