TYPICAL
If readings do not correspond to the above men-
tioned indications, replace switch.
If readings are acceptable, check other switches.
If none of these verifications are conclusive, the
problem finds its source in the main wiring har-
ness. Proceed as follows:
NOTE:
For the next step, no switch must be con-
nected to the main wiring harness.
Disconnect all switches from the main wiring har-
ness and check the continuity of each wire by
connecting probes to the end of wires of the
same color. Repeat with all other wires. It is im-
portant to mention that all wires of the same color
within a given harness are connected together.
These wires should therefore have a closed cir-
cuit. On the other hand, BLACK and BLACK/YEL-
LOW wires must have an open circuit (0.L
M
Ω
).
Repair or replace if necessary.
4. IGNITION GENERATOR COIL
VOLTAGE TESTING
General
When manually starting the engine while the
spark plug is installed, the engine will tend to ac-
celerate beyond the compression point. This will
result in higher magneto output power.
1. Disconnect the 3-wire housing between the ig-
nition module and the magneto wiring harness.
2. Connect multimeter probes to BLACK and
BLACK/RED wires and bring the selector
switch to and the scale to 00.0
VAC
.
3. Activate the manual starter and check values in-
dicated by the multimeter.
4. Repeat operation 3 times.
5. Compare readings with those appearing in the
IGNITION table.
5. IGNITION MODULE VOLTAGE
TESTING
1. Disconnect the 2-wire connector between
module and high voltage coil.
2. Connect multimeter probes to module. Place
the selector switch to and the scale to
00.0
VAC
.
3. Activate the manual starter and check values in-
dicated by the multimeter.
4. Repeat operation 3 times.
5. Compare readings with those appearing in the
IGNITION table.
6. HIGH VOLTAGE COIL VOLTAGE
TESTING
1. Disconnect spark plug cap from spark plug.
2. Fasten alligator clip to spark plug cable, near
the spark plug.
3. Connect other multimeter wire to engine
(ground), then place selector switch to and
scale to 0.00
VAC
.
4. Activate the manual starter and check values in-
dicated by the multimeter.
5. Repeat operation 3 times.
