Soooooo.....new/old ignition coil arrived today. Anxious to give it another go, I swap out the other brand new one and hook up the multimeter. Damn if I still don't get ambiguous results with the primary resistance all over the map and the secondary resistance non-existent. As my67xr pointed...

Unfortunately do not. Taking a flyer on the used coil and hoping that works.

With the black wire disconnected from the coil, I get 2.4 ohms across the primary (one electrode one the black wire into the coil, other electrode to earth). If I connect the wire to the magneto as per the wiring diagram, I get 0.4 ohms across the same two points.

Took an inch off the lead with my wire cutters. Same result... Question. The 2.4 ohms across the primary is repeatable but only if I have the black lead disconnected . I only get 0.4 ohms if the lead is connected. Does that tell you anything? Makes no difference on the secondary. Meter...

Oops, I meant 100 ohms. 0.1 kohms=100 ohms

Will read through your links, but going off the service manual, page 73, primary coil should be 2.41-2.81 ohms. I get 2.4 so all good. Secondary should be 10 kohms which as you say is 10,000 ohms. My multimeter is a little weird in that when just switched on it has a 0.L on the readout so that...

Yeah just tried again going straight to the coil's ground. 2.4 on primary, and 0 on the secondary again. Here is a question for you. If the secondary coil is bad, but everything else is good, should I still be able to see an arc at the points? In theory There should still be a closed circuit...

photo's of my ignition coil continuity testing

So got out the multimeter tonight and confirmed my earlier post. 2.4 ohms on primary and nada on secondary. Spark plug lead off. Will add some pictures tomorrow. One issue. It was the first new part I replaced, but because I struggled to find a genuine Kawasaki replacement, I consulted online...

Good suggestions and truth is I thought the same thing while lying in bed last night trying to figure this thing out. I will run through all the tests again tonight, but yes I have tested the coil secondary with the lead off (when I first got it though, not recently). And yes, spark plug is...

Hey my67xr, still struggling unfortunately. As it turned out, my condensor on order showed up yesterday so I got to work to install it as well as check some of the other things you mentioned. Still no spark. So as per page 73 of the manual, I got out the multimeter and starter to work my way...

Thanks for the feedback and yes I have the same online service manual which is a great link. I will double check my connection wire on the points, but I basically connected it the same way as one the one I removed. Possibly it could be grounded but I doubt it. Pretty sure I set them up...

So finally go the flywheel pulled (with some effort) and you were on the money in that the cam lobe is actually the inner hub of the flywheel. Got my new contact point in the post, got it all hooked up and.....no spark. So to date, I have 1) new ignition coil; 2) new spark plug; 3) new points...

Have a flywheel puller on order so will have a better look once I get it open. Like I said cranking the engine and the points don't seem to be contacting and breaking. They seem to just sit stationary but it could be masked by the flywheel. That's why I suspected the cam. Will let you know what...

Trying to troubleshoot my issue of no spark in my 1974 MT1/KV75. Originally thought it was a bad ignition coil and I have a replacement on order but now I am thinking it has to do with my contact point system. I haven't yet pulled off the fly wheel (because I don't have the right tool todo so)...

NM. Found one on eBay

Tanks. Any suggestions on where to source. Living in Brisbane. Oh, and its a one wire

Struggling with no spark on my newly acquired Kawasaki KV75/MT1 (not sure where to find the S/N). I have an online FSM and I am trying to determine if my coil is bad. Have read lots of the forum but still struggling. Put my ohm meter across it but get erratic results. Usually staring in the 2-3...
