Charge Coil Test (At Voltage Regulator
Multi-Pin Connector)
TEST PROCEDURE 20 – Voltage Regulator
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
NOTE:
Keep the battery connected during this test procedure.
1.
Disable the vehicle.
See Disabling the Vehicle on page 1-3.
2.
Ensure that the wires are connected correctly and are tight. If they are not, rewire or tighten as necessary.
3.
Check the engine RPM setting to ensure that it is adjusted correctly.
See Engine RPM Adjustment on page
4.
With the battery in good condition and fully charged, run the engine for several minutes to bring the voltage
regulator to operating temperature.
5.
Set the multimeter for 20 VDC.
6.
With the engine running at full-governed RPM, measure the battery voltage at the battery posts. If the reading is
between 14.0 and 15.0 volts, the regulator is good. If the reading is lower than 14.0 volts but rising steadily, check
the battery condition.
See Test Procedure 1 – Battery on page 11-10.
7.
If the reading is less than 14.0 volts and not rising, check the charge coil.
See Test Procedure 19 – Charge
Also check for a loose connection at the voltage regulator 3-pin connector and check the
continuity of each wire in the voltage regulator 3-pin connector.
8.
If the reading is more than 15.0 volts and continues to rise, replace voltage regulator.
TEST PROCEDURE 21 – Ignition Spark
See General Warnings, Section 1, Page 1-2.
NOTE:
Keep the battery connected during this test procedure.
1.
Disable the vehicle.
See Disabling the Vehicle on page 1-3.
2.
Remove the spark plug wire from one of the spark plugs.
3.
Use an ignition spark gap test tool (Thexton 404 or equivalent) to check for correct spark.
4.
Adjust tester probes to approximately 18,000 volts (18 Kv), setting (SE – Small Engine Setting on the Thexton
404 tool). Connect tester to spark plug wire and connect alligator clip to a solid engine ground.
