INSPECTION OF IDLE SWITCH

1. Warm up the engine to the normal operating temperature and run it at idle.

*3. Connect a voltmeter to the idle switch terminals as shown in Fig.. 1A:34.

NOTE: Verify that the voltmeter is connected as follows:

Negative probe to LgB Positive probe to LgR

*4. Raise the engine speed to 2000 rpm. Slowly decrease the engine speed and take the readings of the voltmeter.

Between 1300-1200 RPM the voltmeter readings should increase from less than 1.5V to about 12V.

If the readings do not agree with the specification, turn the adjusting screw in 1/4 increments:

Clockwise if the reading is too low. Counter clockwise if the reading is too high.
