Hi guys.
Question: would a bad condenser possible damaged the Magneto coils?
I know it kills the spark but i can't see how it destroys the ignition and lightning coils?
With the multimeter now i get zero ohms on all coils.....i'm so sad about this....and dont know what to do.
Thanks in advance for the help
Do you have the various coils fully disconnected from other items while testing (so you are SURE you are measuring resistance of ONLY one electrical component at a time)?

I think i need a new multimeter ...mine has only auto scale and i was expecting values higher than 0.8 -1.4 ohm .
Next step is to buy a new condenser and test if there is spark....
When checking for continuity make sure the ground wire on the coil being tested is detached from ground (including the coil frame). An example is on the Wombat it should show around 2.0 - 2.5 ohms.
