COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (Cont.)
Q. How do I check my coil for primary resistance?
A. Remove all wires from the coil. Set the ohmmeter to the lowest scale. Attach one lead of
the meter to the positive coil terminal. Attach the other lead to the negative coil terminal.
Q. May I modify the length of the wires?
A. Yes, you may cut the wires to any length your application requires. You may also add lengths of
wire if needed (20-gauge). Make sure that all wire splices are clean and the connections are tight.
Q. Will the electronic shift assist in an OMC boat work with the Ignitor II?
A. The Ignitor II will work with all OMC stern-drive applications, when our “diode fix” is used.
If you’ve purchased a kit that didn’t include the “diode fix” diagram, call our tech line.
