Coil test is bye eye...I am aure there is a meter out there somewhere....
Basically take a sparkplug and connect a plug wire to it...hold the plug against ground so the body of the plug is well grounded... Watch the color of the spark...you are looking for a bright strong spark between blue and white...a yellow spark is a weak spark. Condensor either works or does not work... You can test the condensor by using a test light... You are looking for the light to light up the negative side of the coil when the point open. If that happens, your condensor works. Points cost 3-4 per set...get a few spares...I change at least twice a year. Rich |
