I wonder which cap would have the lower ohm reading out of the 1&4 pair, with #1 @10.75 and #4 with no reading.
I just tested the resistance of both coils and they read 0.00? When the meter is on it will read “1 . “
But when I hooked it to coils it changed to 0.00.
The reason I’m suspicious of these coils is because I didn’t have any problems before I switched to these from my stock Honda coils.
Something you need to know: the coils these bikes came with new were 4.3 to 4.6 ohms resistance. There are MANY types of coils out there, and a lot of them do not directly interchange with these coils on these bikes. For example, if your new coils' primary resistance is 3 ohms, you will have a chronically low battery because of too much power being used by those coils, especially when the bike is ridden in city traffic with lots of idling. If you are running a Dyna S or Tytronics ignition then you must keep the engine above 3500 RPM just to 'break even' on power consumption.
I have seen other members here install coils from 1980s bikes, which are CDI-type coils that look identical and mount up the same, but are 2.4 ohms impedance. These can burn the alternator to a crisp if the wiring doesn't go first. I have repaired more than one of these bikes that suffered from that treatment.
So...if your ohmmeter does not have an ohms range marked "x1", then you will need a different meter to read the resistance of your coils. You can get a cheap one from Harbor Freight for about $7 (last time I looked) that has an x1, x10 and x1000 (aka 'x1k') range for resistance.
