5.9 Short Circuit Wire
5.9.1 Testing
If the spark plug, ignition lead and
spark plug boot are in order, check
the short circuit wire.
– Remove the shroud, b 5.1
: Disconnect the short circuit wire
(1).
– Connect the ohmmeter to ground
(arrow) and the short circuit wire
(1).
– Set the stop switch to "
0" and
hold it in that position.
The resistance measured must be
about 0 Ω. If it is much higher, the
reason may be the stop switch or
the wire. Damaged parts must be
replaced, b 5.9.2, b 5.9.3.
– Release the stop switch.
The resistance measured must be
infinitely high. If not, fit a new short
circuit wire or stop switch, b 5.9.2,
b 5.9.3.
