Sorry robby , I'm going to go a little off subject here , good price for a multimeter though. I have a one of these LINK , sorry about the ebay link , only one I could find with a decent picture of it quickly. Can I find out what resistance my coil is with one of these , if so , what setting do I need to use and where do I put the probes, as I've tried and got nothing, so I'm at a bit of a loss. Many thanks. Andy

Yes, should be fine, the way I am reading the spec. Just put one probe on one side of the coil and the other on the other side and use the lowest resistance range which is 200 ohms Montana

Another thing worth mentioning on that 200 ohm range is to short out the leads, write down the reading and subtract it from the reading you get for the coil Montana

If your meter is reading 2, you probably dont have anything to worry about, but VapingBad `s suggestion is a good one, I have one and they are really very accurate
