    This is the issue, and it’s why you can’t use a light or buzz-box – neither can really tell the difference between 0 and 1 ohms….

    If you’re using a continuity light or buzz-box, there’s no discernible difference between 0 and 1 (zero and one) ohms – either state will illuminate the lamp or buzz the box.

    Nonsense. Buzz boxes are used to set airplane magnetos so you can be assured it’ll work just fine on an outboard. The buzz box won’t make any noise until the moment the points open. I’ll try to upload a video to YouTube to illustrate my point.

    Here is a short video I just made. Sorry its not that good. It was tough to film by myself.
