INSPECTION PROCEDURE 7
It takes too long time to start. (Incorrect starting)
In cases such as the above, the cause is probably that the spark is weak and ignition
is difficult, the initial mixture for starting is not appropriate, or sufficient compression
pressure is not being obtained.
Check battery voltage when cranking
OK: 8 V or higher
