is there any way to test a coil? i have a really weak spark coming off of the coil so i want to test it to see if it needs to be replaced.
thanks

also, as i recall, there is a fusible link for the ignition. i would check it if the primary side of the coil or other ignition components are out of whack.

good luck.
