4. Ignition spark gap
The following procedure applies to all of the
spark plugs.

Disconnect the spark plug cap from the
spark plug.

Connect the ignition checker and spark
plug cap as shown.

Set the main switch to “ON”.

Measure the ignition spark gap .

Crank the engine by pushing the starter
switch and gradually increase the spark gap
until a misfire occurs.
Minimum ignition spark gap
6 mm (0.24 in)

Is there a spark and is the spark gap within
specification?
The ignition system
is OK.
5. Ignition coil resistance
The following procedure applies to all of the
ignition coils.

Disconnect the ignition coil leads from the
wire harness.

Connect the pocket tester (Ω

Turn the main switch to “ON”.

Measure the voltage (DC 12 V) of brown
at the meter assembly coupler (wire harness
side).

Is the voltage within specification?
This circuit is OK.

Are the tester readings correct?
YESNO 1. Oil level warning light (LEDs)

Check the oil level warning light for continu-
ity.
When the main switch is turn to “ON”, the oil
level warning light is come on.

Are the oil level warning light OK?
Replace the meter
assembly.
