IGNITOR (Power Unit)

  1. To ensure power supply to power unit, disconnect primary wires connector at ignition coil. Turn ignition on. Using voltmeter, check voltage between coil positive terminal (Black/White wire) and ground. See Fig 1 . Battery voltage should exist. If battery voltage does not exist, check ignition fuse circuit.
  2. To check power unit resistance, turn ignition off. Remove power unit from under ignition coil. Tape together two 1.5-volt batteries in series to create a 3-volt power source. Install leads to 3-volt power source. Apply negative lead to "G" terminal and positive lead to terminal IB of power unit. See Fig 2 .
  3. Using ohmmeter, connect positive lead to terminal "G" and negative lead to terminal OC of power unit. See Fig 2 . Check for continuity with 3-volt power source applied to terminal IB. Check for no continuity with 3-volt power source disconnected from terminal IB. See POWER UNIT CONTINUITY  table. Replace power unit if test results are not within specification.
