Checking The Electrical Components; Measuring The Peak Voltage; Measuring The Lower Resistance - Yamaha F80B Service Manual

Checking the electrical
components

Measuring the peak voltage

NOTE:
Before troubleshooting the peak voltage,
check that all electrical connections are tight
and free from corrosion, and that the battery
is fully charged to 12 V.
The condition of the ignition system can be
determined by measuring the peak voltage.
Cranking speed is effected by many factors,
such as fouled or weak spark plugs, or a
weak battery. If one of these factors is
present, the peak voltage will be lower than
specification. In addition, if the peak voltage
is lower than specification the engine will not
operate properly.
DC V
WARNING
When checking the peak voltage, do not
touch any of the connections of the digital
tester leads.
NOTE:
• Use the peak voltage adapter with the digi-
tal circuit tester.
• When measuring the peak voltage, set the
selector on the digital circuit tester to the
DC voltage mode.
• Connect the positive pin on the peak volt-
age adapter to the positive terminal of the
digital circuit tester.

Measuring the lower resistance

When measuring a resistance of 10 Ω or less
8
with the digital circuit tester, the correct mea-
surement cannot be obtained due to the
internal resistance of the tester. To obtain the
correct value, subtract the internal resistance
from the displayed measurement.
NOTE:
To obtain the internal resistance of the digital
circuit tester, connect both of its probes and
check the display.
Correct value =
displayed measurement – internal
resistance
