Planet Minis - View Single Post - Exciter coil bad? ---what Ohms / Voltage should it have on 70cc Jailing?

I haven't had any luck telling bad exciter coils from good ones with an ohm meter, they all read the same resistance (which I can't recall off the top of my head, 3.something ohms?). If the exciter coil is a large unit by itself on top of the stator plate, held on by two screws (Like an old 6v Honda stator setup.) then there is a replacement coil out there. If it's the Honda 12v style, I don't know of any cheap replacement.

Given the cheap cost of import stator plates, I'd just swap a new one in and see how it fares.
