No I mean test the resistance of coil and icm etc. Must be something in the 5th gen manual.

Yea that's what i mean lol. We have tested faulty coils before and its still shown that the resistance is within spec. But change the coil and it works!!

Coil resistance can be ok at the low voltage a multimeter will test at, but break down at higher voltages.

Such arse balls.
I bought a 2nd hand dizzy only to fine the delivery company must have dropped it and broke the harness clip.
Anyway i swapped over the ignitors and coils, dizzy cap and rotor and gave it crank.

Nothing...

after alot of testing both ignitors and coils i have a fine but both dizzy caps are completely shot. No spark at all on the caps.

I've got 2 spare dizzy caps if you need 1 bud, both off ludes that started with no probs

Its just easier to buy new ones.

Sounds like your missing the spring between the coil and dizzy cap??

The spring is still there

What a nightmare bud!

So are you waiting on new caps? Rotor arms too while you at it, or are your numerous ones ok?

I thought this was going to be a Greddy issue, so stumped its still got issues with it unplugged.

Hope its as 'simple' as a new cap buddy.

Was just thinking to save you buying a new 1 to test, didnt want anything for it. but you're welcome anyway
