test coil resistance but my money is on broken wire or ignition amp

[what2do]

Just tested the coil and I'm getting 3.06 ohms of both the primary and secondary terminals. Is this the cause?

[itchyfeet]

maybe
check again to be sure.

I have, several times. bit odd that both circuits read the same value.

shorted coil (insulation breakdown)
new one tomorrow then
crappy GSF one will hopefully get you going then order a proper one

[itchyfeet]

I have read excessive use of stainless steel causes high eddie currents in the body earth that can damage coil insulation

I've got an ECP in Salisbury, hopefully, they do a quality one.

Have you got the green label Bosch one Mitch? I bought one of these genuine ones off of eBay - cheapest I could find:

Yes, mine is a green coil. How long was delivery? Thanks Justin.

gren or grey makes no difference
one is a longer service version gives higher spark voltage if you abuse your service intervals afaik

It's been mentioned that I should test the dizzy for an output signal as this triggers the coil? More info to confuse me, is this likely? It appears that I need a coil regardless but I don't want to pin all my hopes on it being a quick fix only to find it still won't run.

Genuine Bosch coil HERE for £37.74, free postage. Not bad!

E D I T:
Ha! Just noticed 300CE's link is to same item. As you were...

[itchyfeet]

unless you tested it wrong it's faulty.
The chances of two faults at the same time is slim but possible.
