Chris, Would you elaborate a little regarding "spikes" while testing
condensers for shorts? I’ve noticed some charge up a lot slower
than others when checking with a digital ohm meter.
Also, regarding testers, my uncle has an old Bosch Coil / Condenser
test meter almost identical to the one in the link.
He used it as a snowmobile mechanic back in the 70’s, but
doesn’t remember much about it, and has no manual. I found
a manual online, but it’s in German 🙁
Going by some of the photos in the manual, I tried testing
a coil and condenser, but nothing happened. When turned on,
something inside does "wind up"……. motor?
I’m guessing a spark should jump the electrodes when coil testing,
but what happens when testing a condenser on one of these?
