Test Procedure 14 - Disconnected Kill Wire, Continued:
3. Disconnect engine-kill white/black wire at bullet connector located by the RPM limiter (Figure 12-32).
4. With the neutral lock-out cam placed in the SERVICE position and the wheels chocked, connect the 6
gauge red wire to the positive post on the battery, then connect the 6 gauge black wire to the negative
post. Turn the key switch to the ON position. In a well-ventilated area, depress the accelerator to start
the engine.
5. If there is a strong blue spark across the spark gap tester tool and the engine begins to run, test the
engine kill circuit for a shorted wire or other failed components in the engine kill circuit (See Testing the
Engine Kill Circuit, Page 89). See Warning below.
6. If there is no spark, or the spark is a faint yellow or white color, test the ignition circuit components.
Test Procedure 15 - Kill Limit Switch:
The kill limit switch is located inside the electrical component box. The accelerator kill switch is the lower of
the two limit switches and has a white/black wire and black wire connected to it.
1. Place the neutral lock-out cam in the SERVICE position, put the forward and reverse lever in the NEU-
TRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Check for proper wiring and tight connections.
3. Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the common (COM) terminal (white/black wire) of the limit
switch. Place the black (-) probe on the normally open (NO) terminal (black wire) of the limit switch.
Without the lever depressed, the reading should be no continuity. Depress the lever, and the reading
should be continuity. If either reading is incorrect, replace the limit switch (Figure 12-33).
Test Procedure 16 - Key Switch:
1. Place the neutral lock-out cam in the SERVICE position, put the forward and reverse lever in the NEU-
TRAL position, and chock the wheels.
2. Remove the center dash assembly (See Removing the Key Switch, Page 119).
3. Check that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as neces-
sary.
4. Place the red (+) probe of the multimeter on the (M+) terminal of the key switch and the black (-) probe
• WHEN THE WHITE/BLACK ENGINE KILL WIRE IS DISCONNECTED, THE ENGINE WILL NOT
STOP RUNNING AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS RELEASED. IT WILL BE NECESSARY
TO DEPRESS AND HOLD THE CHOKE COVER CLOSED UNTIL THE ENGINE STOPS RUNNING.
