3. IGNITION COIL
IGNITION COIL TEST
1. Measure the resistance of the primary ignition coil by
touching one ohmmeter lead to the ignition coil's flat
terminal while touching the other lead to the iron core.
There are two versions of the ignition coil. Before
measuring the primary coil resistance, you must identify
the ignition coil's potting color, and then use the table
below to determine the correct specification range.
Primary coil
resistance
2. Measure the resistance of the secondary ignition coil by
touching one ohmmeter lead to the spark plug cap while
touching the other lead to the iron core.
Secondary coil resistance
3. Replace the ignition/charge coil if either of the above
tests is out of specification.
AIR GAP ADJUSTMENT
Adjustment is required only when the ignition coil or the
flywheel has been removed.
1. Loosen the ignition coil bolts.
2. Insert a long feeler gauge of the proper thickness
between the legs of the coil assembly and the flywheel.
Specified clearance: 0.2 ~ 0.5 mm
3. Avoid the magnetic part of the flywheel.
4. All gaps must be adjusted simultaneously.
5. Push the coil assembly firmly toward the flywheel and
tighten the bolts.
6. Remove the feeler gauge.
