C. Ignition Exciter
(1) If housing has a bulge, the exciter may remain in service,
providing:
(a) It functions correctly.
(b) Visual inspection reveals no cracks.

6. Check - Ignition Cable

A. Continuity Resistance Check
(1) Check that continuity resistance is not more than 0.05
ohm.
B. Insulation Resistance Check

WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH EXPOSED PORTION OF TEST PROBES OR COMPONENT

UNDER TEST.

(1) Check, using test set, that insulation resistance to ground is not less than 2 megohms
at 45 volts DC or AC.
C. Visual Check
(1) Electrical connectors for cleanliness and freedom from oil or
fluids.
(2) Insulation material for
condition.
(3) The outside shield (braided stainless steel) for condition. Repair if required (Ref.
Approved Repairs).
