  1. Perform spark test. See SPARK TEST  under IGNITION CHECKS. If secondary spark is present, ignition control unit is okay. If secondary spark is not present, turn ignition off. Disconnect ignition control unit wire harness connector. Turn ignition on. Using a voltmeter, measure voltage between terminal No. 2 (-) and terminal No. 4 (+) of connector. See Fig 1 .
  2. Battery voltage should be present. If battery voltage is not present, ensure continuity exists between terminal No. 2 and ground. Continuity must also exist between terminal No. 4 and ignition coil positive terminal. Repair wiring if necessary. If wiring is okay, replace ignition control unit.
