The Pope cruises around in the Popemobile, an open-topped car. Unlike the centuries-old history of the word âpope,â the word âPopemobileâ was first used in 1979. His tall hat is called a mitre, the large band of cloth that he wears around his neck is a pallium.

Coils are generally a sealed, water-tight component. As such, they are generally not a repairable item.Routine checks on a coil are not necessary.nstructions. Turn off the motorcycle ignition. Disconnect the spark plug wires from the coil by hand. Disconnect the two smaller primary wires from the coil using an open-ended wrench.

We'll test this part of the ignition coil second, for obvious reasons. If it's bad, you'll get a weak spark or no spark at all. To test the coil's secondary winding, attach the test probes to the outer 12V pole and the center pole (where the main wire goes to the distributor). The 12-volt pole is the spot where the power comes into your coil.
