Attached are photos of my original exciter, a used exciter and a new universal exciter coil from Kimpex. I've also attached pics of my meter with the leads not touching and touching. All measurements are with the meter on the 2K setting. The first pic shows my reading with the meter leads touching 000. The second pic shows a new universal Kimpex exciter at 000. The third pic shows a used exciter at 266 ohmns, which is within spec according to the manual. The fourth pic shows the meter reading with the leads not touching, 1 = infinity. The fifth pic shows the part I removed from the Big Red which also shows 1 = infinity. What does this all tell me? I know my original part is shot, but is my new one bad also because of no resistance? Here's another thing that's weird. My original part has 6 plates stacked, the new one has 5 and the used one has 4. It's looking like I should just install the used part
