OK..I worked on the coil last night. It is definitely dead as I get no readings at all from the SP wire to any one of the smaller wires. I DO get continuity when I measure between the two small wires. So I ordered another coil. I also tried soldering again. I cleaned the nubs gently with my brass wire wheel (looks like those nubs are brass under that coating). I then, using flux, soldered the SP wire to the nub. I had to hold the iron on for a while before I could get it to "stick" but noted that the soldered connection is very brittle and breaks off quite easily. It is hard to solder brass. I re-tried soldering the wires holding the iron on the nub longer each time. I did finally get it to stick fairly well but the amount of heat used to accomplish scares me as I could small the plastic coating starting to melt. I am really concerned about that much heat being applied. Since you did a couple of these coils, am I worried about nothing??
What do you think? BTW…thank you for your advice with this.
