Kohler VTwin engine would turn but not start. Checked for spark and rear cylinder had none. Pulled the ignition coil and I want to check it before throwing parts at it.
Below is the resistance table from the engine's manufacturer.
Set multimeter to 2000 ohms and:
When I test between 1 and 4 result is 000
When I test between 2 and 4 result is 000
Set multimeter to 20k ohms and:
When I test between 3 and 4 result is 10.77 (this is 10,770 OHMS?)
Based on the manufacturer specs, this would mean the coil needs to be replaced but when I check the coil that was generating spark on the other cylinder I get similar results (however, the coil is still installed on the engine- not sure that matters), so I am doubting that the test is done correctly or should I say that I am using the multimeter correctly.
