Inspect the CDI unit with a CDI tester
• Loose connector and poor wire connection are the main causes of faulty ignition system. Check
each connector before operation.
• Use of spark plug with improper heat range is the main cause of poor engine performance.
• The inspections in this section are focused on maximum voltage. The inspection of ignition coil
resistance is also described in this section.
• Inspect the ignition switch according to the continuity table specified in page 19-3.
