Electronic Ignition: Testing: Notes

NOTE: If a suitable fester (C-4166 with adapter C-4166-1 or C-4166-A, or tester C-4503 with adapter C-4503-3) is available, use tester and follow manufacturer's instructions. If tester is not available, proceed as follows:

Check that all secondary cables, primary wire at coil and ballast resistor are not loose and not cracked excessively. Use a voltmeter with a 20, 000 ohm/volt rating and an ohmmeter which uses a 1 1/2 volt battery for its operation. Check calibration of both meters. Check and record battery voltage reading using voltmeter. Proceed with following tests.

CAUTION: When removing or installing wiring connector, ignition switch must be in "OFF" position.
