Running Ignition Tests - BRP E200HSLSEA Service Manual

Running Ignition Tests

Use Evinrude Diagnostics software to monitor
system voltage (55 V).
Voltage readings at a specific speed (RPM)
•
should be steady.
Refer to System Voltage Test on p. 119.
•
Use an inductive timing light to monitor the spark
signal through each of the secondary circuit
(spark plug lead) wires.
Start outboard and observe timing light strobe.
Look for a consistent flash and only one flash per
revolution. The strobe of the timing light should be
the same for each cylinder.

1. Timing light pick-up
2. Spark plug lead
Results:
Steady voltage and strobe, engine misfires:
Inspect or replace spark plugs
•
Refer to FUEL DELIVERY TESTS on p. 123.
•
Check for internal engine damage.
•
Steady voltage, erratic strobe, engine misfires:
Inspect or replace spark plugs
•
Check CPS air gap and resistance.
•
Refer to Ignition Control Circuit Tests on
•
p. 122.
Refer to Ignition Coil Tests on p. 122.
•
Voltages fluctuate, engine misfires:
Inspect battery and connections
•
Test capacitor and all ground connections.

IMPORTANT:
about 1200 RPM, the outboard may be in S.A.F.E.
