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

as shown.
2
Ignition coil
• Set the main switch to “ON”.
• Measure the ignition spark gap
a
.
• 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?
NO
YES
The ignition system
is OK.
5. Ignition coil resistance
