Ignition Coil:
<Primary coil>
Put the tester terminal and lead terminal to contact with iron core of coil, and measure the primary coil resistance.
<Secondary coil>
Put the tester terminal and removed spark plug cap’s high tension
cord to contact with iron cord and measure the secondary coil resistance.
Adjustment
Adjustment is required only when the ignition coil or the flywheel has been removed.
1. Loosen the ignition coil mounting bolts.
2. Insert the thickness gauge or a piece of paper of the proper thickness between the ignition coil and the
flywheel, both gaps should be adjusted simultaneously. Avoid the magnet when adjusting the air gap.
