24G-2 MOTOR GENERATOR
Figure 2-Breaker Point Adjustment-Type 2
removed from ignition coil terminal .
(To use
Ohmmeter or self-powered test lamp, remove
push-on terminal from ignition coil negative
terminal .
Connect one of meter leads to
removed terminal, the other to suitable engine
ground.
Do not connect Ohmmeter to battery
positive lead at starter or damage to instru-
ment could result.)
7 . Rotate
engine
clockwise
(facing
flywheel) by hand until 20 0 BTDC mark on
flywheel aligns with center of timing access
hole. (Note, early units marked at 25
BTDC
should be set at 25 0 BTDC .) Then, using a
screwdriver inserted in notch (D) on the left
side of the points (reverse view of figure 1),
adjust points until test lamp just goes out (or
Ohmmeter reads Infinity). Tighten screw (A).
8 . To
check,
turn
crankshaft
against
rotation (counterclockwise) until points just
close . At this time test lamp should light (or
Ohmmeter should read "Zero").
Now slowly
rotate the engine clockwise.
Lamp should go
out (or Ohmmeter read Infinity) just as the
points break, which is the time at which
ignition occurs.
(6KW - 20 0 BTDC or 25 0
BTDC, whichever is marked on
flywheel.)
Breaker points are now adjusted properly and
timing is set.
NOTE: Type 1 breaker box assembly may be
converted to Type 2 breaker box assembly to
provide easier access to ignition contacts.
TYPE 2
BREAKER POINTS
1 . Remove single screw and the breaker
point cover box .
2 . Remove the
two spark
plugs so the
engine can easily be rotated by hand.
Check
condition of spark plugs at this time.
3 . Using a screwdriver, remove mounting
screw (C) .
Use an Allen wrench to remove
mounting screws (A) and (B). Loosen screw (E)
to remove leads.
Remove points and con-
denser from base (F) .
4. Replace points and condenser with a new
set . Tighten screws (A), (B) and (C). Connect
leads and tighten screw (E).
5 . Remove push-on terminal from ignition
coil negative terminal .
Connect test lamp,
one lead to battery positive (+) terminal at
starter, the other lead to push-on terminal (-)
removed from ignition coil terminal.
(To use
Ohmmeter or self-powered test lamp, remove
push-on terminal from ignition coil negative
terminal .
Connect one of meter leads to
removed terminal, the other to suitable engine
ground .
Do not connect Ohmmeter to battery
positive (+) lead at starter or damage to
instrument could result.
b . Rotate
engine
clockwise
(facing
flywheel) by hand until 20 0 BTDC mark on
flywheel aligns with center of timing access
hole . (Note, early units marked at 25
BTDC
should be set at 25 0 BTDC .)
Then, using an
Allen wrench inserted in screw (D), adjust
points
until
test
lamp just
goes out (or
Ohmmeter reads Infinity).
7 . To
check,
turn
crankshaft
against
rotation (counterclockwise) until points just
close. At this time test lamp should light (or
Ohmmeter should read
"Zero"
resistance).
Now slowly rotate engine clockwise . The lamp
should go out (or Ohmmeter read Infinity) just
as the
points break, which
is the time at
which ignition occurs.
(6KW-20 0 BTDC or
25 0 BTDC, whichever is marked on flywheel.)
Breaker points are now adjusted properly and
timing is set.
