Pick-Up Coil: Testing and Inspection

Procedure
1. Disconnect distributor electrical connector. Inspect connections for dirt or corrosion.
2. Using a suitable ohmmeter, measure resistance across orange and purple wires in distributor connector.
3. If readings obtained are within 400---1000 ohms, circuit is satisfactory. If readings are less than 400 or more than 1000 ohms, replace stator assembly.
