Coilpack resistance

[timebombprod]

Should the coilpack resistance also be around 5?

The connections that are behind the coilpack read a single digit number...multimeter screen is bad, the connections that you hook the leads up to however, read about 12 and 13.

Guess I should mention my spark is orange.... gonna post a video just fofor clarification for the viewer.

......video with bad multi meter was here

[timebombprod]

Okay scratch that video, I got a new mutlitmeter and checked again.


I'm getting readings of 4.7 on the connections that you hook the wires up to on the coilpack, and getting readings withing the range of 12 on the connections that you hook the leads up to.


The reading of 4.7 was on the setting of 200, while the reading of 12 was on the 20000 setting.

Ordered OEM coilpacks as the resistance for the secondary connections should be 30-35 and these were about a third of that number.

With plug caps removed, stick multimeter probes into plug leads of a coil...with meter on 20000 ohm scale , you should see 12 on display meaning 12000 ohms. The 30k to 35 k refers to over the reinstalled plug caps.
your ignition coils are offering same reading as mine.

Oh okay, cancelling that order now. Gonna go back to messing with the ignitor

Do you by chance have the tears for the R/R, stator, and ignitor?

“Tears” ??
anyways, reading your other thread with the cracked plug leads , rather than trying to replace plug wires, I’d get a used set of ignition coils that appear decent. Here’s a set off gs1100 that look good to me for $33. and appear to have same connectors.There’s plenty of others

the 650 ignitor is very reliable...the connections are the weak point

Oops meant tests

[timebombprod]

I replaced the leads already

Charging system quick test is linked in my signature.

[timebombprod]

Long story short its fixed and running again. Gonna do that charging test as I dont want to keep returning my battery every 90 days
