Ignition Timing
Check ignition timing upon completion
of the contact breaker point gap ad-
justment.
1.
Turn the genera tor rotor
®
coun-
terclockwise until the
"
LF" timing
mark on the rotor aligns with the
index mark
@
on the generator stator
®·
If left cylinder ignition timing is cor-
rect,
the left breaker points will just
@
"F
"
mark
begin to open as these marks align.
NOTE:
Sta tic ignition timing may be checked
with a 12V-3W continuity light. When
connected as illustrated below, with the
main switch in the ON position, the light
will come on as the breaker points open.
Static timing is relatively accurate, but
for best results a stroboscopic timing light
should be used to check ignition timing in
both retarded and full advanced positions.
