Checking the ignition spark gap
1. Disconnect the spark plug caps from the
spark plugs.
2. Connect a spark plug cap to the special
service tool.
ÈFor USA and Canada

3. Set the spark gap length on the adjusting
knob.
ÈFor USA and Canada
ÉFor worldwide
4. Crank the engine and observe the spark
through the discharge window of the
spark gap tester. Check the ignition coil if
out of specification.

Checking the spark plug caps
1. Remove the spark plug caps from the
high-tension cords by turning the caps
counterclockwise.
2. Measure the spark plug cap resistance.
Replace if out of specification.
Checking the ignition coil
1. Remove the spark plug caps from the
high-tension cords by turning the caps
counterclockwise.
2. Measure the ignition coil resistance.
Replace if out of specification. Spark plug cap resistance: 3.75–6.25 kΩ

Checking the CDI unit
1. Measure the CDI unit output peak volt-
age. If below specification, measure the
charge coil output peak voltage and the
pulser coil output peak voltage. Replace
the CDI unit if the output peak voltage of
both coils is above specification.
 WARNING
When checking the peak voltage do not
touch any of the connections of the digital
tester leads.
NOTE:
Use the peak voltage adaptor with the digi-
tal circuit tester.
When measuring the peak...

Checking the pulser coil
1. Measure the pulser coil output peak volt-
age. Replace the pulser coil if below
specification.
 WARNING
When checking the peak voltage do not
touch any of the connections of the digital
tester leads.
NOTE:
Use the peak voltage adaptor with the digi-
tal circuit tester.
When measuring the peak voltage, set the
selector on the digital circuit tester to the
DC voltage mode

3. Remove the flywheel magnet nut and fly-
wheel magnet.
4. Loosen the pulser coil screws, adjust the
pulser coil 2
 position, and then tighten
the screws finger tight.
5. Set the flywheel magnet and then check
the gap again and, if necessary, repeat
steps 3–5.
6. Tighten the pulser coil screws and fly-
wheel magnet nut to the specified
torques.
Checking the engine start switch
1. Check the engine start switch for continu-
ity. Replace if there is no continuity....
