Ignition system
2. Insert a pair of pointed pliers in spark plug
connection and pull out the spring and cable
end.
3. If the connection is defective, the ignition lead
can be shortened slightly. Make a new hole
in the cable with a awl and fit the connection
spring.
4. The adjoining simple connection can be used
to check that the ignition lead is not broken.
The battery is connected in series with a test
lamp. Alternatively, a resistance measurement
can be made using a Ohm meter.
DAMAGED SHORT-CIRCUIT CABLE
1. Dismantle the starter and loosen the short-
circuit cable on the ignition module.
2. Reassemble the starter and check whether the
spark plug produces a spark.
3. Check the short-circuit cable and the stop
switch if the spark plug produces a spark.
4. Replace the ignition module if the spark plug
does not produce a spark.
TEST THE SHORT-CIRCUIT CABLE AND STOP
SWITCH
Use a measurement instrument or the following
simple solution to test the short -circuit cable and
stop switch:
1. Connect a battery in series with a test lamp to
the short-circuit cable and engine body.
2. Watch the test lamp while testing the function
of the stop switch. The lamp should not be lit
when the stop switch is in the operating mode.
3. If the lamp is lit – first check the condition of
the insulation on the shortcircuit cable and that
it makes contact with the engine body. Now
check the stop switch.
