All of my previous meters did as well. I'm not sure why this one is different but the dial isn't as smooth as I would like it to be either. I am really don't know if I can trust it.
I'm definitely confused by this. Without yalls help I would absolutely be stuck.
I took this engine to a dude that said he could fix it a few months ago. I found intermittent spark on the same two cylinders after I water trialed it. Turns out he just swapped two 70hp coils on and called it a day.
Yessir. With the kill switch pulled so it couldn't fire. It spins over with no drag from the starter.
I checked the brown lead to the block on 200ohm setting just to be sure and saw no reading.
The leads where voltage was measured were completely separated and wrapped to be sure. As far as I could chase the wires up the flywheel didn't look damaged either.
