I'm checking the wiring of my mags and mag switch with an ohm meter and in all ignition switch positions, OFF/L/R/BOTH, there is low resistance to ground of ~1 ohm. If I disconnect the mag leads from the switch and the little jumper bar for the impulse mag then the terminals read as they should - both grounded in the OFF position, both infinite resistance in the BOTH position and alternating in the L & R positions.
I'm a Mech. Eng. so can any of you spark chasers out there help me understand what I'm missing? What should the connection at the mags look like? There is a big phenolic washer and a shiny tinned surface at the mag lead connection. Where does the lug go relative to these?
Thanks in advance.
