I think he means there could have been a hot leg for a moment but it worked itself out. I've had that happen before. As long as it's reading a consistent ohms now I wouldn't worry. When a new coil first fires up it may fluctuate for a second until the wire gets fired up good.

After a full 24 hours the coil is still rocking at .67 ohm.

Hot spots or loose screws, for sure. I've experienced it a lot of times. Those first 1-10 fires on a newly-wrapped coil, the resistance will usually be all over the place. I've seen coils read .5 and then 2.5 and then finally settle on their true resistance at 1.0.

It's weird.

I have rebuilt the coils for PtoTank 2, Subtank Nano, many RBAs, and quite a few RTAs.

Nover saw the ohms reading fall through the floor like that then go back up to .11 ohms away from where it started.
