c. Measure the primary coil resistance.
2. Check:
• Secondary coil resistance
Out of specification Replace.

CHECKING THE IGNITION SPARK GAP
1. Check:
• Ignition spark gap
Out of specification Perform the ignition
system troubleshooting, starting with step (5).
Refer to “TROUBLESHOOTING” on page 8-
5.
If the ignition spark gap is within specification,
the ignition system circuit is operating normally.
a. Disconnect the spark plug cap from the
spark plug.
b. Connect the ignition checker “1” as shown.
c. Push the ON/start switch and the engine
stop switch to “ ”.
d. Measure the ignition spark gap “a”.
e. Crank the engine by pushing the ON/start
switch and gradually increase the spark
gap until a misfire occurs.
