24.10 SPARK PLUGS {fig. 191)
Plug recommendation:
• AC44XL
• Bosch W 225 T2
• Champion N 9 Y
• Lodge HLNY
• Marelli CW 7 LP
Spark points gap : 0.6 mm (.023").
Spark plugs are best cleaned with petrol and a wire
brush and a needle for the inner part.
In re-fitting, be sure they are properly started by
hand for a few turns, completing the operation by
means of the plug wrench in the tool kit.
For all events, the plugs should be changed every
10.000 km (6000 miles) even if they still appear to
be in good condition.
24.11 ASSEMBLING THE TWIN BREAKER (fig. 192)
After ad justing the points as described in para. 6.11 .
the contact breaker is re~fitted on the crankcase as
follows :
• Rotate the c rank shaft until lixed advance mark
~ 2~
(just before letter ,, 0 .. on the flywheel) is in tine
with mark ,,1 · on the inspection hole rim "A .. (this
in~
cates that the R/ H cylinder piston is advanced
2:
as compared to the TOC wi th both valves closed)
• Turn the contact breaker shaft clockwise to the
point where the camshaft starts to open the contact
points of the R/ H cylinder (red cable). At this stage
in the hole introduce the gear and engage it with the
worm gear on the camshaft. After this, before pro~
ceeding wi th timing the ignition , provisionally fit up
the breaker retai ning plate to the crankcase, without'
tightening the screws, and make sure that the con-
tact breaker top is positioned as shown in the pic-
tu re 192/ 1. This to make assembly 01 the frame unit
much easier.
