Re: How Important is OMC Ignition Timing?

[Mumbles]

You don’t have to remove any of the wires if you are using a timing tool and a digital ohm meter.

With the points closed, you will have a very low ohm reading but when the points open, the reading will increase slightly because it is reading the primary winding in the coil now. I think the pressure of a screwdriver hooking up the leads again can bend the points slightly changing the gap.
