Inspect sparks using the spark plug
Remove the spark plug and position it about
6
to
8
mm
(0.24
to
0.31
in.) away from earth. Normally, during cranking, a strong spark
should fly out. Check all the plugs in the same way.
If there is no spark at all, inspect the distributor and the primary lead
side.
Compression
[Point
21
Inspect the fuel flow to the carburetor
Disconnect the fuel pipe connector on the carburetor side, and run
the engine with the starter motor. Check whether the fuel is ejected
strongly from the fuel pipe.
Caution:
Do not allow open flames to come near during the
inspection.
Take measures to prevent the fuel from scattering.
