using the door restraint system. If the
machine does not have a door restraint
system, remove the doors or securely
restrain them to prevent them from falling
closed.

4. Carefully examine the unit. Check for arc damage,
missing or broken springs, burned and/or badly
worn contacts. Also look for missing or damaged
insulators, poor lead connections, and damaged
lead insulation. If there is serious damage to the
inside diameter of the winding, the Output Control
Unit should be replaced. See Figures F19 and F.20.

If service is necessary, remove the fuel tank and dis-
connect the heavy cable attached to the output stud, at
the center back on the output control.

stud assembly. Use caution, the shaft is under
spring tension. The stud assembly and the rotating
