. *
Do not leave the ignition switch on for more than 10
minutes if the engine does not start.
When a tachometer is connected to the system; con-
nect the tachometer test probe to the check connector
terminal IG 0 .
CHECK CONNECTOR LOCATION:
See pages FI-110, 111
As some tachometers are not compatible with this
ignition system, we recommended that you confirm
the compatibility of your unit before using.
NEVER allow the tachometer terminals to touch
ground as it could result in damage to the igniter and/
or ignition coil.
Do not disconnect the battery while the engine is run-
ning.
Make sure that the igniter is properly grounded to the
body.
