Test Procedure 11 - Ignition Spark, Continued:
2. Remove the plug wire from the spark plug. Using an ignition spark gap test tool (Thexton 404® or
equivalent), check for correct spark (Figure 12-28, Page 101).
2.1. Adjust the tester probes to approximately 18,000 volts (18 Kv) setting. Connect the tester to the
spark plug wire, and connect the alligator clip to the frame.
2.2. Turn the key switch to the ON position and crank the engine by depressing the accelerator. There
should be a strong blue spark between the probes of the spark gap tester. If there is no spark, or
if the spark is a faint yellow or white color, test components of the ignition circuit.
3. If the spark gap tester tool indicates a strong blue spark, it is possible the spark plug has failed inter-
nally. Replace the spark plug with a new part and test the engine for proper operation.
Test Procedure 12 - RPM Limiter (Figure 12-29):
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. Disconnect the bullet terminal. Using a multimeter set on ohms (
Ω
), place the red (+) probe on the
brown ground wire and place the black (-) probe on the black wire bullet connector. The reading should
be continuity. If the reading is not correct, replace the RPM Limiter.
3. This test will find 90% of 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 13 - Ignition Coil and Igniter:
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. Using a multimeter set on ohms (
Ω
), measure the primary coil resistance. Place the black (-) probe of
the meter on the primary wire terminal connector (1), and place the red (+) probe on the core (2) (Fig-
ure 12-30).
3. If the resistance is not within 0.6 - 1.4 ohms (
Ω
), replace the coil.
