Reply To: Cold Solder Joint – Cyl 1 Coil

Another way is to clip a straight pin in your meter lead & ground the other meter lead. See if you can get around a steady around 5000 ohms poking around the hi volt terminal. If you get good resistance try to solder a dab of  solder to the tab & recheck. Warning don’t over hear the connection & use a wet sponge to clean the tip of the soldering tip, then get a fresh drop of solder on the tip, then attach the connection using the top of the wire to heat from the wire down. That will keep the heat away from the coil. Just enough to melt & get off fast to cool the connection fast Your picture shows a braded wire also. Do the coil have 3 wires coming from the coil or 2 wires. Count the hi-voltage terminal also?
