no, it makes no since because it is early on my part. I put one of the leads onto the orange wire off of the tci where it is soldered onto the coil, and the other lead onto the high tension wire1978 XS1100Comment

You said you tested from the orange wire at the TCI? I think before you order coils, you might try that test at the coil, since what you're trying to determine is whether or not the coil is shorted. Running it through the rest of that wiring and connectors doesn't seem prudent. Who knows what other kind of 'leaks' you might have in the wiring that could produce a reading.I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

I did test it at the coil, but is it werid for both coils to go out at the same time, now they are both stock coils i belive but i don't know if it is common for both to go out at the same time1978 XS1100Comment

Not to beat a dead horse, but this is why I don't like using DMM's for this sort of work, they're too sensitive. For all you know, you could be reading through some damp insulation or your own body resistance.
I agree with Ivan, 11M is infinite as it applies to these circuits. You should be testing between the high tension (spark plug) wires to test the secondary side of the coils, then between Orange and Red/White for one primary and then Gray and Red/White for the other primary.
Do the primary tests with both leads disconnected from the TCI, otherwise your readings could be wacky.Comment

i think also today i am going to pick up a anolog multimeter so i can actually do the test on the tci right.1978 XS1100Comment
