INSPECTION
SPARK PLUG
Check the plug gap and replace if the limit is exceeded.
Standard value:
1.0-l
.l mm (.039-.043 in.)
Limit: 1.3 mm
(.051
in.)
Caution
1.
Do not attempt to adjust the gap of the platinum plug.
2.
Cleaning of the platinum plug may damage the plati-
num tip. Therefore, if carbon deposits must be re-
moved, use a plug cleaner and complete cleaning with-
in 20 seconds for protection of the electrode. Do not
use wire brushes.
SPARK PLUG CABLE
(1) Check cap and coating for cracks.
(2) Measure resistance.

NOTE
An analog-type circuit tester should be used.
No. l-No. 4 coil side
(1)
Connect the negative

terminal of the 1.5 V power supply
to terminal (4) of the ignition power transistor; then check
whether there is continuity between terminal (13) and termi-
nal (4) when terminal (3) and the positive
