Re: is this normal

sorry im tring to diagnose a no spark issue and i think it the coil. useing an ohm meter from the coil secondary button to ground i have a continuity reading of about 4000.
also may help if i tell you im working on a 60 hp 1966 evinrude sportfour.
now testing the coil alone there are 2 wires one for ground and one for the points these wires make up the primary side right?
across these two wires good continuity around 0
both of these wires have a continuity of 4000 across the button on the coil, i could be wrong but i think only one of the wires should
hope this helps

Sounds about right. Primary winding should be 0.9 ohms (green and black wires). Secondary (black wire and coil spike) should be 4000-7000 ohms.

Re: is this normal

yes but the green wire is also 4000 across the coil spike is that a problem or ok
