how do members test ignition coils??
How do members bench test ignition coils out of the saw.??? (non point system).
I have a bunch of coils out of saws that were scrapped. Just want to test them to make sure they still work. Without having to put them back into a saw and try it with a spark plug. One friend said to wave a strong magnet back and forth near the flywheel side of the coil (with the spark plug attached to the coil wire and grounded to the metal on the coil) , and it should spark. Have not got that to work yet. Must be doing something wrong.
any help????
As Always, Thanks for any help
