11. IGNITION
11.1. Checking the efficiency of the ignition
system
1 - Dismount the spark plug (
1
) and look at the co-
lour on the end of the thread. This can give you a
good idea of the carburation:
-
black
: mixture too greasy due to clogged air
filter;
-
nut brown:
regular carburation.
Replace the spark plug
(with one of the same or
equivalent characteristics)
if the electrodes (2) are
burnt or if the porcelain is broken or cracked.
FIRE HAZARD:
- do not check the ignition system if the spark
plug is not screwed in place;
- always use the specific tool for the
spark test.
2 -
Connect the tester (
3
) to the spark plug
cap (
4
) and to earth on the engine (
5
). Activate
the starter and see in the instrument if the spark
jumps.
3 - If the test has a positive result, clean the electro-
des (
2
) with compressed air and adjust the distance
to 0.6-0.8 mm. Remount the spark plug and tighten
it to the specified levels.
Unless otherwise required, proceed to verify system
components as indicated in section
.
0,6 - 0,8 mm
