3.3.6.2. Check of system of ignition
THE GENERAL DATA

The prevention

The ignition system develops very much a high voltage, therefore, at performance of works it is necessary to observe extra care.


PERFORMANCE ORDER
1. If the engine is not started, and the starter turns коленвал disconnect high-voltage wires from свеч and connect to them the calibrated rated sportsman for ignition check (is available on sale). Connect one of conclusions of a rated sportsman to a bolt or a metal arm on the engine.
2. In the absence of a test rated sportsman disconnect a wire from one of свеч, take away isolating tip and fix a wire the isolated tool on distance not боле 6 mm from the bared site of weight.
3. Turn коленвал a starter and watch a rated sportsman or a candle wire. There should be an intensive spark of blue colour.
4. If the spark is available, on candles necessary pressure (check up other wires) moves. Turn out candles and check up them (subsection 2.16 see).
5. If the spark is absent or искрообразование unstable uncover the distributor and check up a condition of a cover and бегунка (subsection 2.17 see). At moisture detection wipe dry a cover and бегунок, establish a cover into place and repeat check.
6. If the spark on former is not present, disconnect from a distributor cover a high-voltage wire of the coil of ignition and connect a wire to a test rated sportsman (a candle wire establish into place). Repeat tests. In the absence of a rated sportsman fix a coil wire the isolated tool on distance about 6 mm from the bared site of weight.
7. In the absence of a spark check up all conducting of a primary chain of the coil of ignition, be convinced of cleanliness and reliability of connections. Execute necessary repair and repeat test.
8. If the spark has appeared, malfunction of a cover of the distributor, бегунка, свеч, wires and their tips can be the reason. If the spark still is not present, replace a high-voltage wire of the coil obviously serviceable and repeat check If the new wire does not change result check up the ignition coil (see subsection 3.3.6.5).
