So I am stumped. When I took delivery of my newly acquired 74 914 the car would start up just fine with a jump box.

I went out and bought a new battery and now I have no spark... at lest from I can tell doing the simple spark tests I have done.

I just did an Ohms test on my Ignition coil and here is what I got

Primary: 1.4
Secondary: 10.41

Per the Pelican Technical Article I should see readings like this:

primary coil winding's should give a reading of 0.3-0.6 ohms. Secondary coils should be near 600 ohms.

If I understand my results I am significantly higher than where I should be? But does that mean my coil is is the cause of no spark.

The only thing I changed was a busted fuel line and put in a new battery... Now the car will not start.

Any ideas on where else to look?

Thanks in advance

Cheers
