INSPECTION
IGNITION COIL (Checking with Electro Tester)
• Remove the fuel tank.
• Remove the ignition coil.
NOTE:
Make sure that the three-needle sparking distance of elec-
tro tester is set at 8 mm (0.3 in).
With the tester and jumper wire, test the ignition coil for
sparking performance in accordance with the following two
steps.
STEP CD : Connect the jumper wire to the spark plug cap
and ignition coil ground.
STEP @ : Switch over the jumper wire to the other plug cap
and ground.
If no sparking or orange color sparking occures in the above
conditions, it may be caused by defective coil.

AWARNING
Do not touch the wire clips to prevent an electric shock
when testing.
IGNITION COIL (Checking with Pocket Tester)
A SUZUKI pocket tester or an ohm meter may be used, in-
stead of the electro tester. In either case, the ignition coil
is to be checked for continuity in both primary and secon-
dary windings. Exact ohmic readings are not necessary, but,
if the windings are in sound condition, their continuity will
be noted with these approximate ohmic values.
