Thanks Jim.
I removed the RFI capacitor yesterday. I just did not mention it in my posting.

It looks like the first thing I need to do today is go after to go after the capacitor across the points. Jim K. called me just before midnight. He measured another coil that he had is stock and it came up at 38K. He also told me that he has sold more than a few of these and never had anyone say that they did not work. So I guess I need to put that resistance difference aside and look elsewhere.

Both you and Jim K. have pretty much convinced me this new coil is not the problem.

If I do not get anywhere with the capacitor, there is another used coil on a Kohler engine that I'll look at "borrowing" to try. After that I'll probably fly down to Blaine's and get the used Onan one that he has.

This bug is really exasperating.

Thanks again for the help.
