Still no spark?
Check the spark plug connection.
Remove the spark plug cover and make
sure the ignition cable is not damaged.
Remove a segment of cable if required
to get sufficient contact at the connec-
tion coil.
If no spark occurs, disconnect the stop
switch.
Replace the switch if necessary
If no spark occurs even now, remove
the short-circuit cable from the connec-
tion point in the carburettor compart-
ment.

in the stop switch or the short-circuit
cable.
Change the switch as needed and
check to see if the cable insulation is
damaged.
Still no spark?
Check other cables and connections.
Still no spark?
Check other cables and connections
for poor contacts (dirt, corrosion, cable
breakage and damaged insulation).
Make sure that the cables are correctly
drawn and lie in the cable grooves.
Do not forget to check the cables in the
throttle too.
See chapter 3 “Throttle”.
Tip!
Use an Ohmmeter in order to easily
check if cable breakage has occurred,
due to pinching, for example.
The stop switch can be easily detached
with a screwdriver.
The stop switch is easily reached when
the cover is removed.
Use a screwdriver pinch the switch’s
snap fastener inside the throttle.
