Note
Be

sure
to
connect

INSPECTION

If
the

engine
does

not
run
due

to

faulty
ignition
system
check
the

igni

tion

system
as
follows

Check
for
a
cracked
distributor

rotor
or

cap
and
corroded
tenninals

Visually

inspect
high
tension
wires

for

condition
and
if

necessary
use
an

ignition
oscilloscope
or
a
circuit
tester

to
make

performance
checks
Check

spark
plugs
and

adjust
gaps
as
neces

sary

Replace
a

spark
plug
which

is
not

suitable
for
further
use
If
the

above

checks
cannot
correct
the

problem

check
the
entire

ignition
system
with

an

oscilloscope
or

a
circuit

tester

L
CHECKING
WITH
AN

OSCILLOSCOPE

An

oscilloscope
can
be
used
for

checking
almost

all
the
items
in

a

transistor

ignition
system

CHECKING
WITH
A

CIRCUIT

TESTER

A
circuit
tester
can
not
be

used
for

the

duty

performance
tests

Both

methods
use
of

an

oscilloscope
and
a

circuit
tester

are
described
in
this

section

EE

The
items

are
classified

by
numerals

in

accordance
with
the

objective
of

checks
to

be

performed
Several

wiring

diagrams
are
found

on

pages
EE

to

EE
45
The
thick
lines
indicate

the

objective
of

each
individual
item

check

When

checking
a
circuit
with
an

oscilloscope
or
a
circuit
tester
be

careful
not
to

confuse
the

polarity
of

the
lead
wires
if

potential
difference

exists
between
the
check

points
at

which
the
lead
wires
are
to
be
con

tacted

Also
do
not

attempt
to
con

nect
the

lead
wires
to

any
points
in
the

circuit
other

than
those

designated

Careless

handling
of
the
lead
wires

will

result
in

damage
to
the
transistor

ignition
unit

as
well
as
to
the
oscillo

scope
or

The
connection
of

a
tachometer

or

a

timing

in

parallel
with
an

oscilloscope
or
a

is
