  2. Observe on-off ratio at idle RPM. Record average reading. Observe on-off ratio at 2500 RPM. Record average reading. Compare this value with idle speed reading. The average idle speed value should not vary from the average value at 2500 RPM by more than +/-10. Adjust on-off ratio if it is not within specifications.
