8.
To change the timing, rotate the magneto
baseplate clockwise to retard the timing or
counterclockwise to advance the timing.
Tighten screws securely; then recheck
timing.

Push the reset button before each test. Before
any ignition component is removed because of
negative test results, be sure to first check the
components wire leads and connectors for
breaks and corrosion. Costly repair may be
prevented by merely resoldering a wire or
cleaning a connector. Make sure all switches are
ON and in good working order. Refer to page 152
for the procedure on checking the switches.
A
WARNING
ill
Before any of the test procedures are carried
out. be sure 10 place the back of the machine
up on asafety stand. Check to be sure the track
is off the ground.

NOTE: If either the magneto or the base-
plate is replaced, the timing marks will no
longer be accurate. Use a timing wheel or a dial
indicator as in steps 1-3 to establish new marks.

High Voltage Output Test
To accurately check the high voltage output, you
must remove both the resistor-type spark plug
cap and the resistor-type spark plug from the
ignition system. In their place, for test purposes
only, substitute a NGK B8EV spark plug' and a
metal automotive-type spark plug cap. If either of
these resistor-type items are left in place while
the COl test is being conducted, an inaccurate
reading will result. Each test listed below should
be completed three times to confirm test results.

1.
Install a NGK B8EV plug that is properly
gapped at 0.5 mm or 0.020 in NO.2 cylinder
next to the flywheel. Attach the spark plug
wire with its metal connector. No.1 spark
plug wire must remain attached to No. 1
spark plug or grounded to the engine. Never
crank the engine over without first checking
to be sure that both plug wires are grounded.
Damage to the COl unit may result.
2.
Connect the MM-1 adaptor to NO.2 spark
~r)
plug wire just behind the metal cap. Connect
the red lead of the tester to the clip of the MM-
1 adaptor and ground the yellow lead of the
tester to the engine.

3.
Set the dial on the tester to 80 high scale.
Crank the engine over quickly. If the red light
of the tester fails to illuminate, high voltage
isn't satisfactory and there is a problem
indicated in the ignition system. Repeat the
test three times for conclusive results.
Proceed to COl Unit Output Test.
