RPM LIMITATION TEST
The following tests must be performed with
correct test propeller and with the engine in a
test tank. Note that some performance problems
cannot be duplicated in a test tank, in these
cases the tests must be conducted with the
engine mounted on a boat with the correct
propeller installed and operated in open water.
Avoid electrical shock:
• 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.
