CHECKING FOR SPARK

Make sure the ignition switch is in the “Off” position.

2. Remove the coil wires from the spark plug and set

them approximately 1/2" from ground.

3. Disconnect the magnetic pickup connectors from the

ignition.

4. Turn the ignition to the On position. Do not crank the

engine.

5. With a small jumper wire, short the Violet wire

to the Green wire (Pickup Channel 1), then pull

them apart

(Figure 7). This will cause a

spark to jump from the plug wires to ground. If spark

is present, the ignition is working properly. Do the same test using the Light Blue and

Light Green trigger wires (Channel 2). If there is no spark procede to step 6:

If there is no spark:

A. Inspect all of the wiring.

B. Substitute another coil and repeat the test. If there is now spark, the coil is at

fault.

C. If there is still no spark, check to make sure there are 12 volts on the small Red

wire from the Midget Ignition when the ignition switch is in the On position. If

12 volts are not present, find another switched 12 volt source and repeat the

test.

D. If, after following the test procedures and inspecting all of the wiring, there is

still no spark, the Midget Ignition is in need of repair. See the Warranty and

Service section for information.
