See General Warning on page 1-2.
1.
Disconnect battery and spark plug wire(s).
See Disconnecting the Battery – Gasoline Vehicles on page 1-4.
2.
Disconnect the white bullet connector in the carburetor solenoid red wire
.
3.
Disconnect the 16-gauge green wire (w110) from the starter solenoid coil
.

4.
Set the multimeter to the diode test function.
5.
Connect the black (–) probe of the multimeter to the end of the 16-gauge green wire (w110).
6.
Connect the red (+) probe of the multimeter to the male side of the carburetor solenoid bullet connector.
7.
The reading should indicate an over limit (no continuity). If the diode conducts current (shows continuity) with
the meter probes connected as described, the diode has failed and must be replaced.
8.
Reverse the multimeter probes and note the reading. The multimeter should indicate approximately 540 mV,
however, a range of 400-700 mV is acceptable.
9.
If the readings obtained in the previous steps are incorrect, replace the diode.
