My breakout box is a set of sewing needles and alligator clips for my meter
Pierce the wires for testing then turn on the key or start the engine, which ever is needed for the test
One heads up, don't pierce wires so sewing needles can touch each other or ground out, stupidly been there done that, lol.
I was doing some testing again today.....i may or may not have it figured out, lemme run it by yall...
Checked on the main page, how to check the spark advance system, while running at idle, checking the spout voltage to the distributor base, i get right around 6.5 volts. According to the page it should be battery voltage, the battery was at 12.6 or so.
So i checked restance between pin 1 on the TFI and the spout plug, i couldnt get a reading...
So i then checked resistance between the spout and corrosponding green/yellow wire going to the TFI plug, and got 0 ohms.
The page says that resitance should be less then 1, but with 0 ohms wouldnt that say a wire is totally broken? But if thats the case then why does the engine run much better with the spout in place, and why am i getting 6 volts? Shouldnt i be getting 0?
