Hi.  I may be able to answer both your questions.  First, the coil.  the
original spec was for 13K Ohms across the secondary coils.  Now it is
supposed to be 7.5K Ohms.  I don't know if the resistance changed or the
original spec was wrong (my theory), but either way, you are OK with
your reading.

The buzzing sound may be a relay that has worked its way partially out
of the socket.  I had a relay do that on my '97 RT.  It made the bike
run like crap at certain rpms.  It cost me $500 in troubleshooting for a
tech to finally notice it and press it down with his thumb.   Ouch!  It
was during this evolution that I bought a new coil because my old one
measured 7.5K Ohms across the secondarys.  Guess what, my new coil read
the same.  Ouch again.

Good luck.  Let me knw if I was any help.  It will make me feel better
about the $$$ I spent learning those little items.

BTW, I can't post to the list.  Something about AOL.  Feel free to
forward this e-mail to the list if you think anyone would be interested.
