WARNING

To avoid extremely high voltage shocks, do not touch the spark plugs or tester connections.

Turn the ignition switch on and push the lanyard key under the stop button.

Pushing the starter button, crank the engine 4 5 seconds to measure the primary peak voltage.

Do not operate the starter for longer than 5 seconds. Wait 15 seconds before using it again.

Repeatcoil. the measurements 5 or more times for one ignition

Ignition Coil Primary Peak Voltage

Standard: 250 V or more

Repeat the test for the other ignition coil.

If the reading is less than the specified value, see “Igni- tion System Troubleshooting” table to determine whether igniter is good or no good.
