Mechanical Gas Fuel System G5.9, G8.3 – 013-012   Ignition Coil (Non Shielded)

WARNING  To reduce the possibility of personal injury, do not touch any ignition wires or components while the engine is operating, unless using suitably insulated tools.

NOTE: The ignition coils depicted in this procedure can possibly not be identical to the ignition coils installed on your engine. Although different in appearance, the procedure remains the same.

Disconnect the wiring harness leads from the ignition coil.

Disconnect the spark plug wire from the ignition coil.

Remove the two capscrews and ignition coil from the mounting bracket.

Inspect the ignition coil pack for cracks, corrosion, connector pin damage, and high voltage tower damage.

Measure the resistance between the positive (+) terminal (2) and negative (-) primary terminal (1). The resistance reading must be less than 1.0 ohm.

Measure the resistance between the positive (+) primary terminal (2)
and the high voltage tower (3). The resistance reading must be within the following range:

If any of the resistance measurements are outside of the specified range, the coil must be replaced.

NOTE: The illustration shows a rectangular type coil. The specified torque can also be used on engines with a barrel type coil.

Install the coil pack on the mounting bracket.

Install and tighten the capscrews.

NOTE: The illustration shows a rectangular type coil. The specified torque can also be used on engines with a barrel type coil.

Connect the ignition wiring harness.

Connect the spark plug wires.
