disconnected.
Maintain the correct value of compression pressure for
the cylinder. (Be sure to measure the voltage with the
spark plug installed to the cylinder head.)
Connect the peak voltage adapter [A] between the termi-
nal of primary lead (orange) and ground connection of the
lead of the ignition coil [B].
