    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Resistance reading questions

Reposting some questions never heard back on. 1981 GS850G.

1. On stock plug caps my meter showed zero reading for continuity from one side of the plug cap to the other (caps removed from leads.

2. On the suppression lead set from DynaCoil I got from Z1 Ent, the same reading. Even on a short length of the lead, the core showed no continuity. (Stock metal core old leads show full continuity, no resistance at all.)

Are these non-readings what I should expect? Something to do with resistance????

Thanks,

DH

What setting do you have your meter on? The caps should read 5K ohms.

Well I used all 5 ohm settings on the multimeter this time. From 200 ohm to 20M ohm. NO Continuity (meter reads 1. as it does when just turned on without crossing the leads to test. When I test on a solid item or cross leads I get 0.00. Tried reversing the leads as to how I was taking reading. No change.

I'm not using these caps as I have replaced the leads & caps with the Dyna Coil set but hate not to understand what is up.

Thank you,

DH
