SYSTEM ANALYSIS
IGNITION OUTPUT TESTS
Static Ignition Test
Perform the static ignition test using
Evinrude
Diagnostics
software and an inductive timing light.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT use a spark checker tool
with
E-TEC
models. Radio Frequency Interfer-
ence (RFI) generated by the arcing current can
cause erratic behavior in the
EMM
.
The outboard must NOT be running and the emer-
gency stop switch lanyard must be installed.
Connect timing light pickup to the secondary cir-
cuit (spark plug lead) of the cylinder being tested.
Activate test and observe timing light strobe for
consistent flash.
IMPORTANT:
You may need to remove shield-
ing from wire if pickup does not read signal.
