4. If not previously tested, test the spark plug cap separately from the secondary coil.
4.1. Remove the rubber gasket (1) on the plug cap (2) by rolling back the gasket onto the spark plug wire
(3)
(Figure 11-26, Page 11-25)
.
4.2. Remove the cap from the wire by turning the cap counterclockwise three or four revolutions while
gently pulling it off the wire
(Figure 11-27, Page 11-25)
.
4.3. Using a multimeter set to 20k ohms, place the red (+) probe of the multimeter into the end of the
spark plug cap that normally connects to the spark plug and place the black (–) probe into the end
of the cap with the internal screw
(Figure 11-28, Page 11-26)
. If the resistance is not between 4.5k
- 6.0k ohms, the cap has failed and must be replaced. Proceed to the next step with the spark plug
cap still removed.
5. Test the secondary coil separately from the spark plug cap.
5.1. Using a multimeter set to 20k ohms, place the red (+) probe of the meter into the end of the spark
plug wire and place the black (–) probe on the core (2)
(Figure 11-32, Page 11-28)
. If the resistance
is between 6.0k - 11.0k ohms, the secondary coil is within acceptable limits. If the resistance is not
between 6.0k - 11.0k ohms, the ignition coil has failed and must be replaced.
6. If the preceding procedures indicate that the ignition coil resistance readings are within acceptable
ranges, but the coil fails to function properly, replace the ignition coil and cap.
TEST PROCEDURE 17 – KEY SWITCH (ENGINE KILL CIRCUIT)
See General Warning on page 1-1.
1. Turn the key switch OFF and remove the key. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL posi-
tion. Chock the wheels.
2. Disconnect the battery cables as instructed.
See WARNING “To avoid unintentionally starting...” in
General Warning on page 1-2.
3. Remove the instrument panel.
See Key Switch Removal, Section 13, Page 13-14.
