Coil input information
Just fishing for comments here.
I am in the population of people who have fried multiple coils with minimal use (two that I purchased plus one that was already on the engine when I bought it). I have just recently lined up my ducks by eliminating possibly mis-matched parts in the ignition circuit: new plugs and wires from Moyer Marine, new Pertronix Flamethrower coil (oil-filled; 40,000V; 3.0Ohm) to go with my Pertronix electronic ignition. I made a few measurements today with my basic digital volt-meter. Positive was taken from the + on the coil and ground was a near-by head nut. Results: 1)Everything off: 0.25V 2)Ignition switch on: 11.12V 3)Cranking engine: 9.3V 4)Engine started at idle, cold (no alternator): 11.7V 5)Engine idling at 1000RPM w/ alternator excited: fluctuating from 5.4V to 13.5V 6)Engine warm at 1400RPM w/ alternator : settled at 14.04V 7)Engine warm at 800RPM: 13.0V 5, 6 and 7 are with the engine in gear. I am way over my head here so any comments? Missing information?
