Is my coil good?
Is my coil good?
I had spark then nothing. I've looked over my wires down to the points and they all look "ok" to me (a rookie). I have a Ace/Rat frankenstein so I'm not sure where my coil has come from. Before I follow Socalhodaka coil repair video and cut into my coil, I thought I'd ask the experts
My reading on my primary is 2.1 ohms. My reading on my secondary is 14.69 K ohms. Are these reading OK? I've attached pictures to show you how I measured primary and secondary in case I messed up and included a picture of the coil to see if you guys can tell me what it is off of.
Thanks for your time.

Re: Is my coil good?
coil looks like ct 90 Honda maybe. As for specs they look ok to me. Have you cleaned the points and checked the condenser?
Re: Is my coil good?
Thanks throwchain!! - I've added a new condenser but wanted to check coil with you guys. Now that I know that the coil should be good need move down to the points and ignition primary coil.

Thanks Clarence I'll focus on those.
Re: Is my coil good?
Dale! Thanks for the link. I saw that earlier but I have no D size batteries lying around. Since we are on lock down not sure when I will pick a few up. Since you bring up the link, maybe I can get my neighbor throw a couple my way. Hopefully he can throw more than 6 feet!

Re: Is my coil good?
Any batteries will work. Just connect them in series to get anywhere from 3 to 6 volts. It will work just fine.

Re: Is my coil good?
I use a 6 volt lantern battery they have screw down posts to fasten the wires to. In the 60's I used a small 6 volt battery charger my method also tests the points. -------------- Clarence
Re: Is my coil good?
I also used AA batteries and it worked! I now know I have a bad coil and/or plug wire and cap. I pulled a different coil off a parts bike and I have spark.
