Ignition System Check
1- Remove the spark plug and reattach it to the spark plug lead.
2- Turn ignition stop switch to the “RUN” position. Have someone work
the kick start lever. If the ignition system is operating properly, a blue
spark should jump across spark plug gap. If there is no spark, take your
machine to your service center.
COMPLAINT: Engine stalls
