between terminal "A1" and earth; start the engine and run up to speed.
Decelerate the engine slowly and watch the voltmeter pointer, which will return to zero immediately the
contact points open. The opening of the contacts should occur between 8-5 and 10 volts.
Should the opening of the contacts occur outside these limits, the setting of the fixed contact must be
adjusted. Using a pair of thin-nosed pliers, carefully bend the fixed contact blade towards the bobbin to
reduce the drop-off voltage, or away from the bobbin to increase the drop-off voltage. After each
adjustment, which should be very small, test the setting, as previously described. and readjust as
necessary.
Restore the original connections and refit the cover.
