Electrical Resistances
II
NOTE: All resistance tests of the engine
electrical components can be made using
a multitester.
Replace any component that does not have a test
value wit hin spec if icat ions.
II NOTE: Procedures designated "A" are for
testing the ignit ion coil for the Cougar and
Cheetah F/C; procedures designated "B" are for
the EI Tigre 6000, Pantera, Cheetah UC, and EI
Ti gre 5000.
IGNITION CO IL (PRIM ARy)
1. Disconnect the double-wire plug from the COl
unit to t he igntion coil.
2. Set the se lector on the X1 position; then
touch the leads and zero the meter.
3. Connect one meter lead to the white/blue
lead; connect the other mete r lead to the
black/white lead.

CHARGE CO IL
1. Disconnect the t ri ple-w ire pl u g fro m th e COl
unit to the magneto.
2. Set the selector on the X100 posit ion; then
touch the leads and zero the meter.
3. Con nect one mete r lead to the red/wh ite lead;
connect the other meter lead to the
black/white lead.
