IGNITION SYSTEM TESTING
disconnect emergency kill switch plug, Fig.
IV-9, holding a brown wire, and black wire
having a yellow tracer from th e plug holding
two black wires running to the connector that
is disconnected from the ignition switch.
6. If the ohmmeter now registers infinity
(OPEN), a switch is defective and it is to be
replaced (see Ignition and Throttle Safety/Kill
Switch Check, page IV-12). If the ohmmeter
continues to register 0, the main wiring
harness is defective and is to be replaced.
Ignition and Throttle Safety/Kill Switch Check
Equipment Necessary: Electro-Specialties
Ohmmeter Model No. PC2
1. Rotate ignition switch to the ON position .
2. Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to the
G
terminal on ignition switch and the other lead
to the M terminal, Fig. IV-18.

proceed to step 4. If ohmmeter registers 0,
the ignition switch is defective and is to be
replaced .
II Note: Before performing steps 4,
5
and 6,
loosen screw holding throttle wire to
carburetor-mounted throttle arm, using a
screwdriver having a 1/4-inch blade. Pull all slack
