Sorry, between work and the rain it has been tough to get to this. My readings in red below.

The coil arcing is a problem - could be a bad coil. Remove the connector and test the primary side (the 2-prong blade terminals). Resistance measured across the terminals should be .72-.88 ohms. [color:"red"].7, just shy of your specs[/color] Now measure resistance between the (+) side of the primary (that's the vertical blade) to the high voltage secondary terminal (where the coil wire goes). The standard value is 10.3k-13.9k ohms. [color:"red"]11.96, within spec but, I got the same reading from both blades on the primary side???[/color]

Check the resistance of the coil wire (end-to-end) and the spark plug wires:

coil = 3k ohms [color:"red"]3.554, a little higher then 10% above yours[/color]
#1 = 9k ohms [color:"red"]within spec[/color]
#2 = 8.5k ohms [color:"red"]within spec[/color]
#3 = 10k ohms [color:"red"]within spec[/color]
#4 - 9k ohms [color:"red"]within spec[/color]
#5 = 12k ohms [color:"red"]within spec[/color]
#6 = 10k ohms [color:"red"]within spec[/color]

Those are approximate readings for the wires - within 5-10% should be fine.

Frank,

Is it normal to get the same reading through the coil from both terminals on the primary side? If so, is it normal for those reading to be exactly the same? I tested them a half dozen times and it always came out the same...

Thanks,
John
