Checking the spark advance

- To check ignition advance, use the stroboscopic light with induction pincers connected to the spark
plug power wire.
- Connect the induction pincers being careful to respect the proper polarity (the arrow stamped on the
pincers must be pointing at the spark plug).
- Place the light selector in central position (1 spark = 1 crankshaft turn as in 2-T engines).
- Start the engine and check that the light works properly and the rpm indicator can read also the high
rpm (e.g. 8000 rpm).
- If flash unsteadiness or revolution reading error is detected (e.g. half values), increase the resistive
load on the spark plug power line (10 ÷ 15 KΩ in series to HV wire).
