Title: Red Coil Resistance
Post by: mholewinski on July 23, 2016, 07:41:02 pm

As of now I have no spark and I was wondering what the resistance is on the INEX red coils.  I am getting right around 3.5 Ohms on the primary side and 14,500 on the secondary.  I have just under (like 11.43V) 12 volts going to the coils.  Battery is at 12.3V.  I have a good ground as well.  Also, what kind of resistance should I be getting on the plug wires?  I am running 16 AWG wire to the coils from the ignition box.  Should these be of a smaller gauge so as to create more resistance to the coils?  As always, any help is most greatly appreciated!!!!!  Thanks!

The coils are a 3 ohm coil.o, 3.5 is within the specs.

99.9% of the time it is the box itself. Sent it back to Dyna and they repair them.

Is the red light flashing on the box when cranking?

Yup it is.  Is that good or bad?  Do you have any contact info for Dyna?  Thanks!  ~Mike
