[QUOTE="MrGiggles, post: 482639, member: 22613"] You are right, but a few snaps isn't going to hurt it. Obviously you shouldn't just let them hang and arc internally while you work on the engine. Just pull them off very quickly and then snap them back on, listening for a change in engine speed during the process. There are better ways for checking spark, but this test isn't only for that, it's checking for cylinder contribution, of which there is no other easy way on a carbureted outboard. [/QUOTE]
