How to Adjust
1.
Remove contact breaker cover.
2 . Match the dynamo rotor "F" mark with the mark on the dynamo stator.
3. Turn dynamo rotor slightly to open contact points and check point surfaces. If contact
surfaces are rough or burned, polish the surfaces with a special f1Je or an oilstone and
then clean with gasoline or cleaning solvent. If the surfaces aretoo rough, the points
must be replaced.
CAUTION
Be sure not to leave any oil on the surface of the contact points.
4 . Maximum point gap is 0.3-0.4 mm .
. 5.
To adjust, loosen screw "a" and move the stator bose .
When gap is too small ..... . . . . Contact closing duration becomes too long and induction
of high tension current becomes insufficient.
When gap is too large ......... Duration of ignition becomes too short and sparking func-
tion for high speeds is lowered.
Contact points must be replaced when the gop is Jess than 0.2 mm or more than 0.5 mm.
6. Correct ignition timing is for points to open just after "F" mark posses the dynamo
stator mark. This adjustment cannot be made visually, so use a proper tester.
7 . W ire the timing tester as shown in
fig .
3-63 and turn on the combination switch and
tester switch.
8. Turn the dynamo rotor in a forward direction slowly and adjust the timing so that the
tester lamp turns on just at the moment the "F" mark passes the stator mark.
9.
To adjust, loosen screw "b" in
Fig.
3-61 and move the base.
When ignition timing is too late ... .. . Move base to right.
When ignition timing is too early . . .... Move bose to left.
l
0. Tighten the screw after adjusting.
CAUTION
Adjustment may change slightly when the screw is tightend, so recheck the timing carefully.
