IGNITION SYSTEM
WARNING: High voltage ignition system. Electrical shock hazard.
WARNING: The bilge can accumulate explosive fumes. The bilge
blower will evacuate the fumes. The bilge blower must be ran for a minimum
of 10 minutes prior to cranking the engine.
Type of Ignition System
The ignition on Kodiak engines are controlled by an ECM, some use a distributor
and some are distributorless.
Turning or moving the distributor on engines so equipped, will not change the
ignition timing. If the distributor is adjusted it can cause cross firing between
cylinders.
CAUTION: Always use the recommended spark plugs for your engine.
Hotter or colder plugs, or similar plugs that are not exact equivalents to the
recommended plugs, can cause permanent engine damage, or reduce the
engines useful life, and cause many other problems such as hard starting,
spark knock and run-on. Premature failure of catalyst and exhaust emissions
may occur.
Spark plugs should be replaced at the recommended intervals as described in the
Maintenance Schedule on page 26. Use only the recommended spark plugs or an
equivalent as described in the General Specifications. Spark plug gap should be
adjusted as recommended in the General Specifications. Use the quick reference
guide for your individual engine, starting on page 20 of this manual.
