2.1. Adjust the tester probes to approximately to 18,000 volts (18 Kv) setting (SE –
Small Engine Set-
ting on the Thexton 404 tool). Connect the tester to the spark plug wire, and connect the alligator
clip to a solid engine ground.
2.2. Start the engine. 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 red 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. Check the spark plug gap. The gap should be set at 0.027 to 0.031 of an inch (.69 to .79 mm). If
the gap is correct, replace the spark plug with a new part and test the engine for proper operation.
TEST PROCEDURE 15 – RPM LIMITER
Read DANGER and WARNING on page 11-1.
1. Place the Forward/Reverse handle in the NEUTRAL position, chock the wheels and disconnect the bat-
tery, negative cable first.
2. Disconnect both of the bullet terminals (Figure 11-40, Page 11-34).
3. Using a multimeter set to 200
Ω
(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 conti-
nuity. 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.
