I know in order to test an ignition coil, you check primary and secondary
resistance.  If the numbers are not in spec, replace coil.

The primary resistance # max should be .76 ohms.  Mine is at 1 ohm.  My
secpndary  resistance # was in spec. Yet I have no problems at all on this
engine other than slow to start when cold.

I tested a new-on-the-shelf coil and it too had the same #'s.  What do you
think?
