about 0 W. If it is much higher, the
reason is a break in the wire. The
wire or contact spring has to be
replaced.
– Set Master Control lever to “
#“
The resistance measured must be
infinitely high. If not, fit a new short
circuit wire.

– Examine flywheel for damage –
b 7.1.5
– Check air gap between flywheel
and ignition module – b 7.1.2
It neither of these checks reveals a
