sorry electrical is not my strong suit, but i do have a multimeter, what do i want to see on the coil after it shuts off?

i just took the carb off for a second cleaning just in case i knocked some debris loose, and it will start and run for a few seconds and shut back down. then it might do it again or it might just crank and no start.
