B. If the readings are still out of range, open the elec-
trical box and remove the plug wire(s).
a. Measure the resistance of the plug wire(s).
b.Check the resistance of the coil without the
plug wires installed.
C.If all three plug wires show open, remove plug caps
and recheck continuity from center conductor of
plug wires to engine ground. If still bad, open box
and check coil ground path.
2. Open the electrical box and check for correct connec-
tions between the stator, CDI, coils, and terminal
board. Inspect the wiring for incorrect connections or
physical damage.
a. Disconnect the stator from the electrical box
(within the electrical box).
b. Connect the negative test lead of the ohm
meter to the black wire coming from the
stator and leave it connected for the duration
of test 2.
c. Connect the positive test lead to an engine
ground.
