2. Connect a power supply of 1.5v (one dry cell) between power transistor terminals 6 (+) and 3 (-).
3. Check for continuity between terminals 7 (+) and 3 (-).
Continuity
Should exist
4. Remove power from terminals 6 and 3.
5. Check for continuity between terminals 7 (+) and 3 (-).
Continuity
Should not exist
NO. 2 & NO. 3 COIL SIDE
1. Disconnect the power transistor connector.
Power Transistor (Ignition Coil 3 & 4) Test
2. Connect a power supply of 1.5v (one dry cell) between power transistor terminals 2 (+) and 3 (-).
3. Check for continuity between terminals 3 (-) and 1 (+).
Continuity
Should exist
4. Remove power from terminals 2 and 3.
5. Check for continuity between terminals 3 (-) and 1 (+).
Continuity
Should not exist
If the Power Transistor fails any of these tests, replace the Power Transistor.
IGNITION COIL
1. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
Ignition Coil Test
