ohms verses K ohms
Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 3:29 pm
My bike is running crappy. It sounds like it's way out of time, but the timing is spot on. I am trying to test the coils. The book says it should read 4 - 6 ohms between each pair of wires coming from the corresponding coil. I am getting a reading of 39.2 ohms on all three. My meter only has a K ohm setting. Am I actually seeing 3.92 ohms? My meter is a very old (like 30 years) Radio Shack digital meter (Micronta).
It sounds like and feels like it's only running on 2 cylinders. But after a 2 mile test run, all 3 pipes are hot. I am 99.99% sure its not a carb related issue. I had them apart about a month ago to clean the gunk from the pilot jets. Thanks ethanol fuel
. After that, it ran great. This just started a few days ago.
Edit: Who is a good source for plug caps?
