CHECKING THE IGNITION SPARK GAP

EASB296353
1. Check:
• Ignition spark gap
Out of specification  Perform the ignition
system troubleshooting, starting with step 4.
Refer to "TROUBLESHOOTING" on page 8-
4.
Minimum ignition spark gap
6.0 mm (0.24 in)
TIP
If the ignition spark gap is within specification,
the ignition system circuit is operating normally.
