• rotate the flywheel counterclockwise (engine
rotation) until the piston is at the end of the
compression stroke (both valves closed). At this
pOint mark «S" on the flywheel (TDe of left cy-
linder) should coincide with mark «1" on the
inspection hole rim:
• rotate the flywheel clockwise until mark «3"
on the flywheel (fixed advance" coincides exac-
tly with mark «1" on the inspection hole rim, At
this point, breaker «6» contacts (fig. 32) should
start to open.
If the contact points of breakers "A" and «6»
(fig. 32) do not start opening in the above posi-
tions, then ignition timing needs adjustment.

Spark plugs
The type of spark plugs to be used is indicated
at page 5.
Spark plug points gap 0.6 mm (.023").
The spark plugs are best cleaned with petrol
and a wire brush, using a needle for the inner
part.
In re-fitting the spark plugs, ensure they are star-
ted by hand for a few turns, completing then the
operation with the wrench in the tool kit. If not
properly started, the cylinder head thread may
get stripped.
For all events, the plugs have to be replaced
every 10.000 km (6000 miles) even if they appear
to be still in good condition.
