Tests Using Ignition Analyzer
INotel Whe.n
Power Test
these tests to the coil, do not exceed its maximum specified amperage
Test the C.Dignition coil with polarity connections normalConnect the analyzer's red lead to the coil's primary terminal Connect the analyzer's black lead to the coil's ground tab Connect the analyzer's high tension lead to the coil's high tension lead steady spark at, or before, maximum specified amperage indicates the coil is goodRefer to Ignition Coil SpecificationsSurface Leakage Test
The ignition coil and spark plug lead should be tested for leakage or insulation failures using the ignition analyzerLeakage is caused by moisture, cracks, or holes in the coil housing or spark plug leadsleads still connected from the Power Test, remove the analyzer's high tension lead from the coilTurn on the analyzer and probe the entire surfaces of the coil, spark plug lead, and spark plug coverFlashover will be apparent wherever insulation has broken downReplace any coil or spark plug lead which shows leakage
