Dear Forum,
OK, I finally got one plug wire out of the coil side. My question now is, what kind of resistance should I read through the plug wire. It is about 7-8 inches in length. I had to reinstall the piece that plugs into the coil side, the brass metal clamp. I stick my ohm meter leads into the boot end and the other end of the meter into the end of the plug wire directly bypassing the metal clamp I had to reclamp onto the plug wire. I am reading 0 ohms when doing this on a ohm scale of 200K and the 2000K and the 20K ohm scale. Not sure what I should get, but I assume there should be some resistance through this wire? My motor's serial number is: 0B302485, it is a 1988 Mercury 90hp 3 cylinder 2 cycle outboard motor. PLEASE HELP.
