I’m currently training to become an rgi. College is closed due to the current pandemic. I’ve been trying to learn about older components in more depth! But I can’t find anything about testing for a compromised solenoid. To clarify, there’s no gas involved. By all means close up the thread if...

On 2k ohms setting, I don’t pick up a reading. On 200k ohms the resistance is fluctuating everywhere between 5 and 60. What sort of Reading would you expect? I understand that, it’ll possibly rule out a defective solenoid coil or confirm the valve is faulty?

Can you test a removed combination gas valve, the standing pilot type, by wiring it up to a plug top with a 3amp fuse to see if the solenoid will energise?
