by WMWSToday I changed out my coil to the flame thrower 40111. My electric tachometer is hooked up to the coil. Now my tac is showing fast for some reason. Any idea why.

by ndnchfWhen alexiskai came to visit a couple weeks ago, he showed me his Snap On coil tester and also told me about an old school Herbrand coil tester. I then wanted one of my own
After some searching I found a rough and non-working Herbrand tester. In the Chit Chat forum I discussed the Herbrand tester and how I refurbished it.
Putting it to good use, 3 coils were tested. One was an original...-

by conaway2What do ignition coil testers measure ? I’ve seen some very old ones with a ‘good-bad’ meter on them that also allow the high tension wire to plug into the tester. I’m guessing that these testers measure the high voltage generated ??
I’m considering building a simple test device and thinking that I would simply measure the length of the spark produced.

Got it running on a 1.2 ohm coil.
Whether the 3 ohm one is dead or electronics don't like 3 ohms.
12 volt...-
