dures described in Chapter 6: Starter.
2. Check the air gap for the module. Set it to 0.010” by
following the steps described in the module section
of this chapter.
3. Disconnect the red wire. See Figure 4.2.
4. Install the starter as described in the starter section
of this chapter.
5. Install the clutch as described in the clutch section

6. Pull the starter rope with the spark tester still
hooked up to the spark plug wire.
• If there is spark now, test the engine stop switch
and check the red wire for a short to ground.
• If there still in no spark, hold a screwdriver against the magnets on the flywheel to feel if they are mag-
netic. If the magnets are good, replace the module. If not, replace the flywheel.
