Ok, if the draw is less than 10 amps, you should be fine with the VOM on that scale. It will read maybe 2 decimal places, so you should be able to see 1/100th of an amp. Most single wire engine alternators have a small draw when you hook the battery up. That may be your spark. I know it's not fun, but I would pull the battery fully charged and have it checked at a reputable battery store.
