BEFORE TROUBLE SHOOTING THE ENGINE
Check Primary
Equipment Necessary: Point Tester Ohm Meter
1. Move the ohm meter switch to the ON
position, Fig.
11-8.
2. Hold ohm meter connect ing clips apart (must
not touch ) and rotate the adjusting knob until
the indicator needle is positioned precisely at
the OPE N end of the scale, Fig.
" -8.

3. Ground one of the ohm meter connecting
cI ips to the engi ne. Attach the other ohm
meter connecting clip to the primary (plug
wire) terminal on the external ignition coil.
Indicator needle is to read 2 - 2.7 ohms
resistance, Fig. II -9. I f resistance is 2 - 2.7
ohms, primary is acceptable. If resistance is
not 2 - 2.7 ohms, replace the external igni-
tion coil.

ternal ignition coil. Connect high tension wire
(plug wire) to the external coil.
Check Secondary
Equipment Necessary: Mini Ohm Meter
1. Move the ohm meter switch to the ON

3." Pull gold wire (ground) off the secondary
terminal of the external ignition coil. Ground
one of the ohm meter connecting clips to the
engine. Attach the other ohm meter con-
necting clip to the secondary terminal. Indi-
cator needle is to read 8000 ohms resistance,
Fig. 11-11. If resistance is 8000 ohms, second -
ary is acceptable. If resistance is not 8000
ohms, replace the external ignition coil.
