Ford 2000; 3 cyl. gas; 4/1 Trans; 12v....Have been having a lot of trouble getting my tractor cranked lately and took the coil off and tested it, among other things. The results were 1.6-1.9 ohms across the + and - terminals and 7280 from the wire hole to each of the + and - terminals. I couldn't find anything about what an acceptable level of ohms is for the coil that was on the tractor and am hoping someone may know or can tell me if the coil is within specs with those readings.
The coil has worked fine in the past so wondered if a bad coil might be the culprit in my starting woes. I have not yet done a spark test but thought I'd pose the ohm question because I'd like to know the ohm spec for the coil so I can write it in my manual for future reference. The coil part number is ABC509 12v and, according to a tractor supply house, is the correct unit. Thanks for any input you can provide.
