Static Ignition Test
Perform the static ignition test using Evinrude
Diagnostics software and an inductive timing light.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT use a spark checker
tool. Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) gener-
ated by the arcing current can cause erratic EMM
operation.
The outboard must NOT be running and the emer-
gency stop switch lanyard must be installed.
Connect timing light pickup to the secondary cir-
cuit (spark plug lead) of the cylinder being tested.
Activate test and observe timing light strobe for
consistent flash.
IMPORTANT: You may need to remove shield-
ing from wire if pickup does not read signal.
