Checking the thermoswitch
1. Remove the thermoswitch from cylinder
head.
NOTE:
To remove the thermoswitch, refer to page 5-
18.
2. Place the thermoswitch in a container of
water and slowly heat the water.
3. Check the switch for continuity at the
specified temperatures. Replace the ther-
moswitche if out of specification.

NOTE:
Remove the all spark plug caps, when mea-
suring the charge coil peak voltage at loaded
engine cranking.
4. Disconnect the charge coil coupler.
5. Connect the special service tool 1 and
digital circuit tester to the charge coil cou-
pler.
6. Measure the charge coil resistance.
Replace the stator assembly if out of
specification.
