Ignition
General information The measurements described below will only reveal severe problems. Coil short circuits leading to weak ignition sparks or low generator output, respectively, can only be detected with the help of an ignition test bench. In the case of malfunction always check the cables and the plug and socket connections of the ignition system first. Make sure to select the correct measuring range when performing measurements. The CDI unit can only be checked on the ignition test bench.
