Outboard Ignition Troubleshooting – Page 38 – Force DVA and Resistance Charts
This page provides Force DVA peak reading and resistance charts for ignition troubleshooting. Use these values as reference points when testing stators, triggers, and ignition coils by horsepower, year, model type, and CD part number.
Force DVA (Peak Reading) and Resistance Charts
Performing tests on ignition components requires the proper testing equipment. This chart assumes you have the correct tools to diagnose ignition problems accurately.
Understanding this chart:
Example: Grn = Green Wht/Grn = White/Green Stripe
“Wire to wire” means take the measurement between those wire colors on the component.
(a) Some units use White/Orange stripe to White/Yellow and White/Red to White/Green.
Light green columns are reference readings for measured ohms of the specified component.
Light yellow columns are reference readings for measured DVA output of the specified component.
While it is possible for a component to be within specs and still be faulty, any component found outside specs should be replaced.
