I am having trouble figure out what my problem is with my CB750 project. When I try to turn the power on it all of the electronics flicker and won't stay on. I have narrowed the problem down to the field coil, but I'm still confused. When I test the field coil my meter is showing 7.4 ohms. That would mean no short right? When I disconnect the field could from the rest of the bike, with everything else connected, the power turns on just fine. But as soon as I connect the field coil I get flicker/short, then dead. I'll probably replace the coil anyways, but I'm just confused about why the ohms test is still good. Any ideas?
