Would you use this coil?
Is this coil good for continued use?
The primary check of the 2 poles shows 2.3k. The specs call for 1.0-1.4. The secondary shows at 15.5k. The spec shows 5.8k-9.2k. |

If you have over 2k on the primary and the spec is for 1-1.4 ohms, then no, replace it.

Try it, not hard to swap in a coil for testing, you may like it.
How accurate is your meter?

Now note a cheap ohm meter usually is not accurate enough to measure the Ohms correctly. |

Use a 1 1/2 ohm coil rated for at least 30 watts or more. Auto stores should have something in stock.
