I have some trouble with heavy carbon deposit on the spark plugs causing the engine to misfire. Ignition is main suspect as compression is good.
I measured resistance of ignition system components, but one thing that is not mentioned in the service manual is the resistance of the spark plug caps.
I'm measuring 9kOhm and 11.5kOhm for the two caps. Is this a normal value? Also are Honda BF75 spark plug caps supposed to have a resistor since the spark plugs them selfs are already of the resistor type? (DR5HS or DR4HS) I thought it was either resistor in spark plug or cap, but not both? It is a breaker-point ignition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
