1. Remove the 2 female spade connectors from
the primary side of the ignition coil.
2. With the meter set on the resistance scale,
connect the meter leads 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
A paper clip of approximately 20 mm (3/4 in) will
be used as a test adapter for the following test.
1. Install the test adapter to spark plug cable close
to MAG side spark plug.
2. Connect Bombardier Ignition Tester probes
then set switch and dial as follows:
TYPICAL
1. “N” lead on paper clip
2. “P” lead to grounding device
3. Start engine and observe indicator.
NOTE:
If engine starts, allow it to idle while ob-
serving indicator. Then, shut engine off.
4. Push reset button and repeat test twice.
Results:
a.
Indicator lamp lights:
Ignition coil is OK.
b.
Indicator lamp does not light:
Ignition coil is
faulty. Replace it.
