Havent seen a new thread on coil resistance in a while, so thought I'd share this for people searching in the future.
394xp running strong, but wouldnt turn off. Had good wire connections between switch and coil, and the switch was good. From reading, it seems the resistance of the primary should be in the ~100ohm range while the secondary is in the ~1000ohm range for a 1o:1 ratio.
I measured mine and found almost the inverse. Spark plug boot to ground was 238,000, kill tab to ground was 220,000, and the kill tab to the spark plug boot was 23,000.
All numbers seem to be way too high, and the resistance of the primary:secondary is almost 1:1. If the two windings are equal, it makes sense that the plug never stopped firing. Seems odd that it runs so well with a goofed up coil.
Anyone ever run into this before?
