AST 1200 watt Generator, Model GG1200. Engine stamp #JF15FEH-2 (I think)
So I'm getting intermittent spark. Cleaned the flywheel and am bench testing the coil, Am I'm getting a reading as if it's good. Except from A (where kill wire connect to B (the bases where you put the feeler gauge when installing it) I get a reading there. But the numbers are all over the place. And I have to keep moving the leads otherwise it goes to zero. As soon as you move it, the resistance jumps up, then back to zero when I stop.
With the meter set ohms on 200
C- to A+ 10.2
C- to B+ 10.17
B- to A+, It jumps up, then back to 0.00. Note, if I turn the meter to 200, I get a steady 1.3
Is this just a bad coil?
Note: I've tried yelling at it, cussing it. and even threatened it so far. So, I'm guessing the coil is deaf.
