get an ohmeter, set it to the 2nd lowest readout, test the postive and neg (they're labeled). They should be btw .6-.8 ohms. Next, switch the ohmeter to read 1000s test the secondary (coil and secondary winding terminals... should be btw 12.8-19.2k. If either don't fit within range, replace it. There's a dude selling on ebay for $20 plus $10 shipping... i just replaced mine with that and it works perfect.
