what setting do you set your OHM meter at to test the primary coil,and pickup? is it X10 or the normal setting?

thanks

 

Its hard to answer unless I see the meter, they are all a little different.

 

LOL seems no one knows how to use an OHM reader but they keep telling everyone to use one.

 

It depends upon what the expected reading is in ohms. If it's less than 10 or 20 then I would use the 1X scale on that scale the number read on the meter is the ohms. If the expected measurment is about 100 ohms I would use the 10X range. On this range take the number on the meter and multiply by 10. On the 1K range multiply by 1000 etc..
1K ohm = 1000 ohms
1M (or Meg) = 1,000,000 ohms

Hope this helps

 

didnt realize i had to zero out the OHM meter because i had a ANOLOG one GRRRRR just read that.
i am going to get a digital one tonight and an impact gun just in case it has to come off.

the readings should be in the (EX) .000 so i guess it should be set for X10 then?
let eveyone know what happens tommarrow.

 

ok did the test today the primary coil was good.
the pickup coil is only reading .001 so i hope this is the problem.
gave ronnie ATVS a call and they had one in stock for the beast. so hopefully tuesday i will know if this was the problem.
