    from reading the maze of words it seems all coils are ok.. continuity wise anyway one set at around 6 kohms and a new pair at 103 kohms…
    he is using the FR tool so points should just begin to open a TDC… no need to worry much about .020 gaps anymore

    true could still be bad coil but out of 4….. 2 should… work

    the initial coils got replaced due to the wrong scale used on the VOM scale which was set at…. 2000 ohms

    my readings have been hard to keep up with because I was performing them wrong at first, using the right method and test but on the wrong ohm setting all along

    I wonder sometimes if auto ranging digital meters and timing pointer tools are too confusing for the novice? (No offense to T. Bell) Some people just want to get grandpa’s fishing motor running again, so I think we should keep it simple.. gap em at .020 and go with it. Just my opinion, respectfully.
