Clearly there must be 12V at the coil or the engine wouldn't be running. I was fooled once when one of my voltmeter wires broke inside the insulation. I finally figured out what was going wrong when I found that my probe to probe resistance was infinite. ;-p Welcome back, David! I'll check out your photo when I get back on line. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
