IGNITION
GENERAL INFORMATION
Safety Information
There are many hazards present when working on or around the ignition system. Read and pay close attention to the
following warnings and cautions when working on any component in this section.
Never run an engine in an enclosed area. Exhaust
contains poisonous carbon monoxide gas that can
cause loss of consciousness and may lead to death.
If you must run the engine to do some repairs, do
so in an open area or with an exhaust evacuation
system operating.
Some procedures call for the engine to be run in
order to warm the engine to operating temperature.
If this is done the exhaust pipes can "blue" if a
cooling air stream is not provided by means of a
shop fan directed at the exhaust system
(particularly the head pipes).
Follow the instructions closely when troubleshooting
items in this section. Some electrical components
can be damaged if they are connected or discon-
-nected while the ignition switch is ON and
current is present.
GENERAL CAUTIONS TO OBSERVE WHEN WORKING ON IGNITION SYSTEM
• This ignition system is controlled electronically and no provisions are available to inspect or change ignition
timing. A timing light is still valuable as a diagnostic tool.
• Poor connections are the most common cause of ignition problems. Inspect all connections and replace the
spark plugs before doing extensive ignition system troubleshooting.
• Make sure the battery is fully charged and that the charging system is operating correctly.
• A signal from the Crankshaft Position Sensor must be present for spark to occur.

The engine and exhaust system become very hot
during operation and remain hot for a period of
time after the engine is shut off. Wear insulated
protection for hands and arms or wait until the
engine and exhaust system have cooled before
working on the machine.
Parts containing semi-conductors can be
easily damaged if handled carelessly. Do not
drop or subject the electronic components
to shock loads.
Using incorrect heat range spark plugs can
damage the engine. Always follow the
manufacturer's recommendations for spark
plug heat range.
