Troubleshoot a Motorcycle Ignition Coil
Set the ohmmeter To gauge Rx1,000 ohms. Connect the meter's probes to the coil's two larger, spark plug wire connections. The meter should now indicate 10,000 to 12,500 ohms. Readings outside of this range indicate a bad coil. The coil contains valuable and secondary windings wrapped on all sides of an iron core. It is sealed and cannot be repaired. When an ignition coil ceases to operate properly, it must be replaced. Happily, a coil's advantage is easily tested with a customary ohmmeter.
Instructions
1. Shut off the motorcycle. Grant the bike to algid down to the touch.
2. Pull the Glimmer plug wires off of the coil. Unscrew the remaining two wires attached to the coil with an appropriate-sized wrench.
3. Place the ohmmeter To gauge Rx1 ohms. Connect the metre's probes to the coil's two smaller connectors. The ohmmeter should indicate 2.5 to 3.1 ohms. Any other reading indicates a bad coil.
4.The ignition coil on a motorcycle is an electrical Element within the ignition process. It receives a low voltage from the bike and steps it up to a bare eminent voltage. This voltage is then sent via heavy-duty Glimmer plug wires to bonfire the plugs.
