I just got a Rapair Spark gap tester and I have a couple of questions. 1987 225 Johnson<br />1) If I use a remote starter trigger do I have to turn the ignition on to get a spark?<br />2) Should I be able to see the spark in the tester during daylight?<br />3) Should I test all 6 cylinders at once or one at a time?<br />Thanks <br />Reddog

Re: Spark gap tester

Hey Reddog23,<br />Here's the way I use mine.<br /><br />1. Remove all sparkplugs<br />2. Connect tester to all six plug wires.<br />3. Turn switch "on".<br />4. Spin starter.<br /><br />I'm not familiar with Rapair's spark tester. Mine is a Steven's and it just an open-air, adjustable gap tester and is hard to see in bright sun light but you can see it in a shaded area.<br /><br />Hope this helps ya.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty
