IGNITION SYSTEM
IGNmoN SYSTEM INSPECTION
NOTE:
I f not spark jumps at the plug, check all connections for
l o ose or poor contact before measuring each peak volt-
age.
Use a commercially available digital multimeter (imped-
ance 1 O Mn/DCV minimum).
The display value differs depending upon the internal i m -
pedance of the multimeter.
I f the I m rie diagnostic tester (model 625) i s used, follow
the manufacturer's i n structions.
Connect the peak voltage adaptor to the digital multimeter.
TOOL:
Imrie diagnostic tester (model 625) or
Peak voltage adaptor 07HGJ - 0020100
with commercially available digital multimeter
(impedance 10 Mn/DCV minimum)

PEAK VOLTAGE ADAPTOR
DIGITAL MULTIMETER
Check all system connections before this i n spection. Poor
connected connectors can cause incorrect readings.
Check that the cylinder compression i s normal and check
that the spark plug i s i n stalled correctly i n the cylinder head.
Disconnect the spark plug cap from the spark plug (page3- 7).
Connect a good known spark plug to the spark plug cap and
ground the spark plug to the cylinder head as done in a spark
test.
With the connector connected, connect the peak voltage adap-
tor probes to the ignition coil primary terminal and ground.
CONNECTION:
Black/yellow wire terminal (-) - body ground (+)
Turn the i g nition switch ON.
Crank the engine with the kickstarter and read the ignition
coil primary voltage.
PEAK VOLTAGE: 100 V minimum
1· 1 1khfrildN
A void touching the spark plug and tester probes to prevent
electric shock.
If the peak voltage i s l o wer than the standard value, follow
the checks described i n the troubleshooting on page 16-2.
