IGNITION SYSTEM CHECK
1. Remove the spark plug and reat-
tach it to the ignition coil.
2. While holding the spark plug firmly
against the crank case of the
engine, push the starter switch
with the ignition switch in the "ON"
position, the engine stop switch in
the "" position, the transmission
in neutral, and the clutch disen-
gaged. If the ignition system is
operating properly, a blue spark
should jump across the spark plug
gap.
3. If there is no spark, clean the
spark plug. Replace it if neces-
sary. Retry the above procedure
with the cleaned spark plug or a
new one.
4. If there is still no spark, consult
your Suzuki dealer for repairs.

dure. Do not point the spark plug
