    John, how are you connecting the spark tester?  Are you connecting to ground or are you connecting to the spark plug?  If the plug, you will get the result you are having.

    Hi Steve,

    One side inserted into spark plug boot, other side is grounded to the carburetor (only part of the motor not painted.

    More info in case it helps.

    1. I’m sure everyone understood what I meant, but both coils were jumping during testing. Just to a lesser/greater degree when testing the coil in question.
    2. I tested both coils:
      1. #1 = 5.69k ohms
      2.  #2 = 5.70k ohms
    3. Condensers:
      1.  #1 = .22 micro farad
      2. #2 = .182 micro farad

    Just checked resistance in both wires. Both dead nuts 0.00

    Forgot to mention, primary both sides starts at .3 and drops within a second to .2

    Picture attached of cap end of condenser for #2. Hard to see but the cap is a bit extruded from the housing (.030 or so).

     

    Thanks,

    Best Regards,
