IGNITION SYSTEM
3-4 Checking ignition switch and leads
1. Remove air cleaner cover.
2. Remove switch lead connector from ignition
switch. Connect one probe of Ohm-meter or multi-
meter to switch body, and other probe to switch
terminal.
3. When ignition switch is in “RUN” position, the
Ohm-meter should indicate infinite resistance.
4. When ignition switch is in “STOP” position, the
Ohm-meter should show that the circuit is complete
(closed circuit). Replace ignition switch as required.
5. When checking switch lead, the Ohm-meter
should show that the circuit is complete. Replace
the lead as required.
6. Connect one probe of Ohm-meter to ignition
switch body and the other probe to ignition coil core
to check ground lead. The Ohm-meter should show
that the circuit is complete. Replace the ground lead
as required.
