and
other
damage.
Replace

Coil Testing.
(1)
Test with a test lamp as follows: Test the
coil for open or grounded circuits by using
a test lamp. Check the primary circuit by
placing the test points on the two primary
terminals. If the lamp does not light, the
primary circuit is open. Check the
secondary circuit by placing one test point
in the high tension terminal and the
second test point on one of the primary
terminals. The lamp will not light, but
sparks will be noted as the test points, are
rubbed over the terminals if the secondary
winding is not open. If no sparks occur
the secondary is open.
(2)
Test spark gap with a testing instrument
as follows: Attach the leads from the
testing instrument to the two primary
terminals. Turn the distributor so the
points will open and close to
