How to bench test a Suzuki ATV coil?
Place the red lead of your multimeter onto the stud where you removed the red wire. The readout on the meter must read between 6,000-Ohms and 15,000 Ohms. If not, the unit is defective. Reconnect all of the wires, and start the ATV is possible. Allow the engine to warm up for five-minutes and then repeat the entire process.
