Testing the high-tension leads
HT cable is formed with a carbon core in two resistances so that;
Leads of various lengths can have equal resistance. Resistance per foot or meter is typically marked on the point. Detach each point successively. Begin the plug cap if it’s removable.
Measure the lead and compute its resistance, then measure actual resistance with an ohmmeter or multimeter. If the reading is above the figure, you figured out,
Or if it’s quite 25,000 ohms, replace the entire set of leads.
Some leads have a copper core with small resistance. Interference is suppressed by plug caps with 5,000 – 10,000 ohms resistance. Check the lids with an ohmmeter.
