    Apologies for my complete rookie question...but I've never dealt much with electrical issues.

    I have an 05 TC 250 with no spark and I'm debating picking up a multimeter and checking some things myself.
    When the manual states "resistance between BLACK-RED and RED-WHITE cables: 12,7 +/- 15%" Does this mean
    I'm looking for 12,700 ohms +/- 15%? Here in the states we use commas to separate thousands. but the lack of zeros after the seven has me not sure.

    Is that what I'm looking for?

    Thanks!

    That's a great question. Might be 12.7 Ohms?

    I would agree. Several European countries use commas and decimal points in the opposite way to how I use them. (being british). Resistances that are in thousands or millions (or thousandths and millionths) of ohms are usually written with the appropriate symbol (eg u(mu), m, k, M) l to indicate the correct value. So 12.7m would be 12.7 milli-ohms or 0.0127 ohms 12.7k would be 12700 ohms.

    So 12,7 ohms written in the manual most likely means 12-point-7 ohms.
    oldbikedude, robertaccio and Force10 like this.

    Makes sense Padowan...thanks. I guess if I get a multimeter that has auto ranging that will help as well, so I don't have to guess what to set the selector dial to.

    Italians 12,7 is US 12.7 Ohms +/- 15% which happens to be a fairly loose tolerance from what we usually see in our aerospace world.
