Reply To: EVINRUDE trigger coil

[Rick Robbins]

Thanks Fleetwin, I’ll give a short description of what I have.
1- The motor is mounted on a stand with a 12v battery.
2- I have no control box (will be looking for one eventually)
3- Turning the motor over with a remote start connected to the solenoid.
4- Have the trigger coil now removed and laying on the bench.
5-Have a known good coil laying on the bench (4 pin-no quick start wire).
6-compare similar wire ohm readings between both connectors and get manual stated results on the known good coil and the indicated 0 ohms on my removed coil.
So these are both being measured on a bench, removed from the motor.
I’m going to try Mumbles suggestion of piercing the wires near the coil to measure again to eliminate bad wires going to the connector.
I appreciate the time you are taking to offer your experience and am not offended by any assistance I get here.
Oh yeah, forgot to mention, my meter was set on it’s minimum setting for all the readings.
I won’t be able to get back to it for a few days myself.
Thanks to everyone for the responses so far,
Rick
