2. INSTALLATION OF SPARK PLUG CABLE
Improper arrangement of spark plug cables will induce
voltage between the cables, causing miss firing and
developing a surge at acceleration in high-speed operation.
Therefore, be careful to arrange the spark plug cables
properly by the following procedure.
1. Install the spark plug cable clamps as shown in the
illustration.
2. The numerals on the support and clamp indicate the
spark plug cable No.
3. Pay attention to the following items when the spark
plug cables are installed.
Install the cables securely to avoid possible contact
with metal parts.
(2) Install the cables neatly, ensuring they are not too
tight, loose, twisted or kinked.
