Help with carb sync

The meter I have is auto ranging. When set to resistance you get a reading in the 3-5 ohm range for the coils.

You should measure the primary resistance between one of the terminals and ground. Use one of the bars on the coil for ground or a suitable chassis ground. The secondary resistance should be measured with one probe on the spark plug wire and the other to ground. Some coils may test OK cold but fail when warm. I would also remove the cap and measure the cap for its resistance.

Try remeasuring and report back.

I get nada when measuring between terminal and ground and spark plug wire and ground (I tried several different grounding locations too). I do get 6.0 to 6.25 kOhms on the spark plug caps (year old NGK 5kOhm caps)

Chef is there a part you DON'T have

If there is, I'll bet it's shaft-related.

Alot less if people would buy them
Gotta pay for a motor. :-$

Chef, sent you a PM.

Well it sound to me like the coils are bad.

Here is an article that describes how to measure coils with your type of meter. The method is similar to what I described.
