My 1974 CB360 didn't have any spark so I went to test the coils. I tested the first coil and I got 4.8 ohms which seemed fine. When I checked the secondary coil I got nothing. I turned the multimeter to 20k and put positive on the black and white wire and negative on the spark plug cap.
I went on ebay and ordered a pair of used CB360 coils. They arrived today and I tested them. About the same result on the first coil, and I got no reading on the second again! I pulled off the spark plug cap and and tested it from right inside the wire and got 9.6k. I then tested the original coils with the plug caps off and got 9.6k as well.
I'm pretty confused and also pretty unfimilar with how the coils work. Did I order broken coils, or are my original coils fine and they're supposed be like this?
Any help is appreciated. And btw I tested the continuity between each side of the spark plug caps and got nothing all around which seems very odd to me.
