Ignitor: Testing and Inspection
NOTE: As the igniter is integral with the distributor, the test below is for the igniter component only.
Before this check, prepare 2 new 1.5 V batteries and an analog type ohmmeter.
1) Disconnect distributor coupler from distributor.
2) Arrange 2 new 1.5 V batteries in series (check that total voltage is about 3.0 V).
Connect positive terminal of ohmmeter to "4" terminal of distributor and negative terminal to "6" terminal.
Check continuity between "6" and "4" terminals with about 3V applied to its "5, terminal and also none applied.
If check result is not satisfactory, replace distributor.
