COURSE OF ACTION
Reconnect P4/J4 to shut the
engine down.
Attempt to start the engine
using the recoil starter; if the
engine starts, check lead #212
for faulty insulation. If lead
#212 is good, replace the PC
board.
If the engine fails to start, have
the engine and oil level system
checked by a qualified engine
service technician.
1. Place the engine switch in the
"stop" position and check for
battery voltage at the PC board
pin J3-10. (lead #211)
voltage is present, the switch is
defective.
2. Locate and ground
brown/white lead from the
engine ignition magneto. If the
engine still will not shut down,
the engine ignition magneto
may be defective. Contact a
qualified engine technician.
3. If the engine shuts down when
the brown/white lead
grounded, check wiring and
connections at leads #212,
GND-I, GND-J, and the brown
leads between connector J4/P4
and the engine
magneto. If these leads and
connections are good, replace
the PC board.
