Can a pickup coil be tested with an ohmmeter?
The pick-up coil of a magnetic pulse generator or metal detection sensor is also checked for proper resistance using an ohmmeter. Connect the ohmmeter to the pick-up coil terminals to test the pick-up coil for an open or a shorted condition.
What should the voltage be on an ignition coil?
If you do not see sparks, check the output on a voltage/ohm meter. The primary coil should produce readings between 0.7 and 1.7 ohms. Aftermarket ignition coils are built to different specifications and tolerances that can affect the performance of the ignition system.
Are there different colors of Ohm plugs?
Different plugs with different wires. Depending on what year bike each person has, compared to Warriorcliff77’s 97, you will be checking different color wires. I believe the OHM’s will always be the same, but the wire color will be different that you are taking your readings across.
What should the resistance be on a pertronix coil?
Turn the ignition switch to the run position. Now read the voltage at the positive coil terminal. Turn the ignition switch off. If the voltage measured is approximately 12 volts, no resistance wire is present. A typical resistance wire will provide 9 – 6 volts. The next step is to determine the resistance in the primary ignition.
Do you need a pick up coil on a stator?
The pick up coil is simply a replacement, there is no need for a “performance” pick up coil. If you want to enhance your spark, look into an iCat. after taking the stator off to get to the one way bearing do i need to line anything up, like the flywheel behind stator? or just make sure the key is in there right?
Where are the pickup coils located on a car?
They are located inside the distributor and function as the trigger for the ignition system to produce spark. The pickup coil monitors the rotation of the distributor and triggers the ignition system at the optimal moment to produce the best timed spark for best engine performance.

What happens to the pickup coil when the ignition fails?
The pickup coil monitors the rotation of the distributor and triggers the ignition system at the optimal moment to produce the best timed spark for best engine performance. As the ignition pickup essentially functions as the activation switch for the entire ignition system, when it fails,…
