TEST PROCEDURE 14 – RPM LIMITER
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
2. Disconnect both of the bullet terminals (Figure 11-24, Page 11-25) .
3. Using a multimeter set on 200 ohms, place the red (+) probe on the brown ground wire and place the
black (–) probe on one of the black wire female bullet connectors. The reading should be no continuity.
If the reading is not correct, replace the RPM Limiter.
4. This test will find most bad RPM Limiters. Some of them may bench test okay but fail under a load due
to heat while operating. Another method of testing is to replace the RPM Limiter and then run the engine.
If the engine runs properly, keep the new RPM Limiter in the circuit.
TEST PROCEDURE 15 – IGNITION COIL
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-1.
The following test procedures will properly detect a coil that has failed in most cases; however, in rare cases,
some ignition coils can fail to operate at normal (warmer) operating temperatures. If the ignition coil has tested
okay in the vehicle and on the bench, but fails to operate reliably, replace the coil with a known good coil and
operate the engine for several minutes to ensure that the coil functions at normal operating temperature. If the
new coil functions properly, keep the new coil in the circuit.
Test Procedure 15A – Ignition coil – In Vehicle Test
1. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed. See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
2. Using a multimeter set to 200 ohms, measure the primary coil resistance.
