<VV> FC Engine Wiring Harness

[Hugo Miller]

Yes, if it is a 9 volt coil (or similar). In theory. there should also 
be a 12 volt feed when the starter is operated, on the basis that when 
the starter has taken its chunk of the available battery power, there's 
about 9 volts left for the coil. But if that feed from the starter 
(relay or switch) is not there, that rather defeats the pont of having a 
9 volt coil and resistor in the first place.
How do you know your wire is a resistor wire and not just a 12 volt 
feed? You can't tell with a volt-meter, as it needs a current draw to 
show up the resistance & you will still get 12 volts on a meter, even if 
it is a resistor wire (I think).
