THREE CYLINDER IGNITION
(Con't.)
(4) Connecting of Lead Wires
Couplers are provided for connecting each lead wire, so
connect them firmly, confirming colors of each lead. If
any leads are left unconnected or off in operation, it may
damage the CDI unit.
(5) Confirmation of ignition timing
Si nee this ignition system is of breakerless system, the
ignition timing will hardly vary. But to confirm it, use a
stroboscope. When the mark of rotor concides with that
of indicator at the engine speed of 7,000 RPM and under
the day time load condition, it shows ignition timing is
normal or 3.75 mm BTDC or 26° BTDC. Use a strobe
light with verified reliability for it is occasional that a low
intelligence strobe light shows the timing retarded, as it
has retarded radiation itself.
3.2 Dismounting
(1) To dismount this ignition system, pull out the rotor
first. Draw out hexagon nuts and then pull out the rotor
by a pull-out tool using three screw holes for fitting recoi I
starter on the surface of the rotor's side plate. Use rotor
removal tool No. 2870159.
(2) After pulling out the rotor, loosen the screws with
which stator is mounted to engine and also pull out the
stator by hand. Be sure not to force it out with a driver
and/or a hammer.
4. Maintenance and Repair
In ordinary operation of the CDI system no repair or
maintenance work is required. However, dust, oil and/or
muddy water is undesirable so clean them if covered. Next
check to see if there is any loosening of screws and the
connection of each lead and coupler.
