Also, just tried the condenser test a few times, step one, attach ground lead from battery to body of condenser: check. step two, attach positive lead from battery to condenser wire and allow to sit for a few seconds: check. step three, detach from battery while simultaneously holding ground lead of meter to condenser body: check. most i got out of it was 9.45 volts, battery reads 12.66 volts. not fast enough or is it a bad condenser?
And, fixed the issue with my amp meter killing the power (for now at least) and checked the continuity of the plug wire and plug, both good. also resistance checked the primary coil, it registered 4.5 on my meter set at 200 on the ohm scale, the secondary however wasnt reading anything until i turned the meter up to 2000 on the ohm scale, then it registered a 9.5ish...honestly not 1000% positive on which is really the pos/neg side because of the funny readings i would get switching between posts...
