Does anyone know what resistor is in the ignition. I toasted mine and dont want to have to buy a whole new ignition. I say something that siad that it was 2.2k but I dont know if that is correct and I cant find a good one to test.

 

i would think the value would be printed on the old one

 

resistors don't quite work that way... it's almost like a code... the colored stripes on them will tell you what the resistance is, and the size of it's body is how you can determine how many watts it is...

 

I used to think I was the king of useless information... lately alot of it has been getting put to good use... hope this helps you...

is that an industry standard ?

like any company selling resisters will have the same size and color for a certain value ?

 

that link went straight on my favorites list..lol

 

for the most part, yes... every now and then you will run into a bag of douche company that tries to avoid the inevitable reverse engineering, but that's not very common in my experience...

 

Hey OMR, in case you're interested...

no prob... i do what i can...

 

I tried to read the strips, but mine is screwed up. It is partially melted so I cant see the strips anymore. I the resistor of my friends 636 but I had no luck. Anyone got a cheap ignition? If the key is missing or f ed up that dont matter I just want the wiring part.
