Ignition System - TOHATSU 40 Service Manual

SECTION 7

IGNITION SYSTEM

All cranking output tests must be performed with
spark plugs installed and torqued in the cylinder
head. If necessary to remove the spark plugs, be
sure to keep the spark gap tester away from
open spark plug holes.
Avoid electrical shock:
• Do not handle spark gap tester leads during
performance testing.
• Do not touch ignition coils, exciter coil, pulser
coils, or alternator coils while the engine is
cranking or running.
Use proper precautions when performing tests
with the engine cover removed. Do not wear
loose clothing or jewelry. Keep hair, hands, and
clothing away from the flywheel and other
moving parts.
When repairs are complete, make sure all ignition
and electrical leads are properly routed and
clamped in their original positions and the start-
ingear prevention system must be tested before
returning engine to customer.
