Igniter testing

I've had an A1 and A B2 with the ignition pickups behind the block.  The biggest failure is the HT coils where the plastic body cracks and will cause spark to be intermittent spark at various rev ranges.  Sometimes the pickup coils fail but I think this is less common

To follow up on the igniter testing. I was getting no readings at all on the small 6 pin plug using a digital meter. I bought a cheap analog meter which looks really close to the "Kawasaki Hand Tester". Using this meter the igniter tests good, so I guess it may matter whether a analog or digital meter is used. Maybe depends on the meter. I wasn't really suspecting that the igniter was bad, just trying to leave no stone unturned lol. 

An interesting observation.
I tend to rely on digital meters over the analog ones. Analog meters( the really good ones) have a span adjustment and a calibration adjustment. When used for critical measurements, these meters would be calibrated before taking a reading and calibration checked after a reading to confirm that the reading taken was accurate. Digital meters don't tend to wander like the analog meters.
Possibly your digital meter got exposed to a high voltage and fried the program on the internal chip resulting in no reading?? ( Thinking out loud). Sounds like you probably need to check the readings against  known resistances like a number of different resistors. At this point you know that you cant trust the digital. Both the digital and anolog meters use the internal 9 volt battery to energize the item being tested and read the value on the downstream end against the 9 volt on the upstream end. The resistance measured is a calculation based on the difference. Obviously the digital meter does that calculation based on a program. The anolog does it by energizing a circuit creating a magnetic field, rotating the needle against a spring and showing a reading based on opposing forces.
( more useless knowledge I walk around with)
My 2 cents on this topic.

IDK ?? Somehow digital vs analog makes a difference. I used the same digital meter to test the pulser coils, ignition coils and coil resistor. All tested with appropriate values. But when testing the igniter small plug - nada -zilch. Good readings with analog meter though. It's a mystery to me. I'm satisfied that the igniter is good, it does seem to work after all. Now on to the next issue....
