Find the two leads that go to the timer and twist them together. Then take a reading across the two leads that go to the battery. You should get close to 0 ohms.

Test across the two spark plug leads with the meter on the kohm scale, you should get a reading, probable something between 4 and 8 kohms.

If either of these tests fails, the coil will need attention. And even if they do, there’s still a condenser in there that will need to be diagnosed.

Let us know the results of these tests, maybe we can help a bit.

Thank you. I tested the leads as you instructed and I’m getting a reading from the 2 wires to the battery and 2 to the timer. Where it failed is when I tested between the two spark plug wires. I saw the boiling video and will be attempting in the near future.
