I have a 1984 1 cyl 4.5 Merc serial # 6501395 and when I was testing the new coil before installing it the primary output range is .2 - 1.0 OHMS and the new one is .4...so that's fine...but the secondary output range is 800-1100 OHMS....that reads 0. which is exactly what the one I took off was. Here's the kicker...this is the 2nd new coil [ both new coils are QUICKSILVER parts ] I've purchased and both read the same secondary output. Maybe I'm using the wrong testing method is what I'm thinking even though that's what a number of folks on YouTube say that's the way to test them. Can anyone give this old timer a different method to use cause it doesn't seem likely that both new coils are defective. Appreciate your time ....Ray
