General Information
•Check ignition system in accordance with the
troubleshooting procedure in Section 15-2.
•As the ignition system has an electric
automatic spark control in the CDI unit, there is
no need for spark advance angle adjustment.
•CDI should not be disconnected or subjected
to input. Damage or failure can occur.
•Poor contact may be the cause of many
ignition system faulty cases. Check all terminal
connections to be sure they are clean and tight
whenever troubleshooting an electrical problem.
•Make sure spark plug heat range is correct.
Using an incorrect spark plug will result in
improper engine operation or spark plug
damage.
•Peak voltage is used as reference point in
tests. Record coil resistance tests.
•When inspecting spark plug, refer to related
instructions in Chapter 3.
•When removing AC generator and pickup coil,
refer to instructions in Chapter 14.
