Testing apparatus for two or four cylinder engines
First Claim
1. A test apparatus for testing an electric starter, a solenoid and a key operated switch operable with a key of a two or four cylinder engine of an outdoor apparatus and adapted for use with a power supply, comprising:
- a component box;
means for removably connecting the key operated switch to the component box;
means for removably connecting the solenoid to the component box;
means for removably connecting the electric starter to the component box;
an indicator connected to the key operated switch, the indicator providing a perceivable output indication when the key operated switch is connected to the component box and to the power supply and the key is operated to close the key operated switch when the key functions properly to close the key operated switch;
means for connecting the solenoid to the power supply, the solenoid providing a perceivable output indication when the solenoid is connected to the power supply and properly is engaged; and
means for connecting the electric starter to the power supply, the electric starter providing a perceivable output indication indicating whether or not the electric starter properly is engaged when the electric starter is connected to the power supply.

Abstract
A test apparatus for testing an electric starter, a solenoid and a key operated switch of a two or four cylinder engine of an outdoor apparatus. The test apparatus includes a component box for removably supporting the key operated switch, the solenoid and the electric starter. When the key operated starter is closed by turning a key, a light indicator provides a visually perceivable output indication indicating the key operated switch functions to properly close. When the solenoid is connected to the power supply, the solenoid provides an audible output indication indicating the solenoid properly is engaged. When the electric starter is connected to the power supply, the electric starter engages and provides an audible and visual output indication indicating the starter properly is engaged or is properly operating.
