Testing The Igniter - Westerbeke 5.0KW BCG-60Hz Service Manual

TESTING THE IGNITER
DESCRIPTION
Unplug the two connector's at the distributor plug. Take care
to note the two separate connections as they must be
reconnected in the exact same position. Place your ohmmeter
leads on the terminals SG and C shown below and read the
meter. Then reverse the ohmmeter leads and again read the
meter.
In one direction the ohm reading will be 100 ohms less. In
the other direction there should be no ohm reading. Any
value above 100 ohms indicates a faulty igniter. Any ohm
value found with the meter connections in either direction,
the igniter
is
faulty.
SWITCH THE OHMMETER LEADS
BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN
TERMINALS SG AND.Q AND
READ THE VALUES.
