How do you check ignition coil resistance?

Resistance can be measured with a Multimeter.

1. Set the multimeter to measure resistance (ohms).
2. Connect the positive lead to the positive terminal of the coil.
3. Connect the negative lead to the negative terminal.
4. A typical value would read 0.4 – 2 ohms.

Is there a spark on my Echo leaf blower?
