6000-8000 ohms
The coil on the relay should read about 70 ohms
They should read 5.5 ohm's
Distributor pickup coil resistance 140-180 ohms.
Yes. Try it sometime - you might like it. The spark plug wire contact should read high ohms to ground. The coil should read much lower ohms to ground.
You test an ignition coil by checking the resistance with an ohm meter. The resistance values should be something like, Primary winding .3 to 1 ohms, Secondary winding 8,000 to 11,500 ohms.
Looking for coil ohms and stator ohms. And possibly the voltage comming out of the stator .
If you have access to a coil tester, spark plug should fire steadily at the 1.5 setting on the current knob. To test continuity of the coil: Primary test; connect a test lead to one side of the coil and the other lead to the other side of the coil. Readings shold be between 3.5 to 5.5 ohms. If readings are high or low, replace the coil. Secondary test; remove plug wires from plug and place test leads on plug wires. Readings should be between 68 minimum and 78 ohms maximum. If readings are high or low replace coil. There should never be continuity between the primary and secondary windings. This information is taken from the JD 400 service manual. On a side note, my secondary reading from my tractor is only 40 ohms. Primary was 4.1. The tractor runs great.
0 ohms
With the power off? If you are looking at transformer terminals on an unpowered unit you would be seeing the coil resistance. You should not use your meter in the ohms setting with voltage present. It wasn't designed for that. Measure voltage from ground on a 220vac transformer and get 110 vac. on each side.
check with meter to see resistance value (ohms)should read 3.4
Depending on the accuracy of your Ohm meter, yes... it could very well be shorted.
