Nope, not if your getting 12V to both sides of the coil, have you tried
another coil? I believe the external spade connectors are attached to the
low tension winding and trigger a release of the high tension winding to
create a spark. (somebody correct me if I'm wrong-like I really had to ask
:-) it could be a bad High tension winding.
