One thing you can do when using CDI Electronics parts is download the PDF instructions for the particular ignition part you are testing. For example if you are working on a 1989 150 hp OMC outboard and want to test the powerpack, simply look up the correct replacement powerpack for that engine. Once you know the part number, you can click on the PDF file for that particular part for full troubleshooting instructions. As far as a test meter, I prefer an analog peak reading volt meter. I own and use a ES [electro specialties] analog meter. The Stevens meter shown in your link is also an excellent choice, along with the anphenol plug test adapters if working on OMC engines. CDI Electronics also publishes an ignition systems troubleshooting guide that list specs and detailed troubleshooting instructions for many outboards. A must have in the shop. I use mine frequently.
