Released
Possible
Cause
1.
Faulty ignition due to worn
or fouled spark plugs, worn
ignition points, incorrect
ignition timing, or faulty
plug wires.
2.
Faulty fuel system due to
carburetor mixture screws
incorrectly adjusted, plugged
fuel filter, faulty regulator,
or faulty fuel solenoid.
3.
Connect a voltmeter between
positive
(+)
terminal on
coil and ground. Check for
battery voltage when
SI
is
placed in the Start position.
If voltage is not present,
fault is due to:
a. open circuit between coil and
control or
b. defective control
PC
board.
1.
Low oil pressure switch not
closing
due
to:
a. low oil pressure
b.
open circuit between
switch and control,
c. defective low oil pressure
switch,
d.
low oil pressure.
2.
K5
relay contacts not opening
due to:
a.
K5
relay circuit open or
b. defective
K5
relay.
3. Output voltage from
generator not being suppled
to control due to:
a. defective charge resistor.
b.
open circuit in wiring between
generator and control,
c. defective bridge rectifier, or
d.
no output voltage from generator
4.
