1.
Turn the generator rotor

counterclockwise
and align "LF"
mark
@
(on L/H cylinder)
to
timing mark
@
.
The ignition timing correct
if
the L/H contact breaker point
@
starts opening.
To check the ignition timing, connect a 12
V-
3 W bulb as shown in the figure and note the
moment the bulb comes on.
2.
If the ignition timing is incorrect (either ad-
vanced or retarded), align the "LF" mark with
the timing mark, loosen base plate locking screws
®
and slowly turn base plate
®
until the bulb
comes
on.
NOTE:
The ignition timing will be advanced if the
base plate is turned clockwise;
it will be re-
torted
if
the base plate is turned counterclock-
wise.
Tighten the base plate Jocking screws upon
completion of the adjustment.
Turn the generator
rotor again and check if the contact
breaker
point gap of 0.012,.....,0.016
in.
(0,3,.....,0.4 mml
is
maintained for the L/H breaker point.
•
R/H side
3.
Connect the bulb to the R/H contact breaker
point.
Turn the generator rotor counterclockwise
180 degrees ( 1
/
2 turn) and align the "F" mark
©
with the timing mark
@.
If the bulb comes
on
when the marks ore aligned, the ignition timing
is correct.
If the ignition timing is incorrect,
loosen contact breaker base plate locking screw
®
and vary the R/H point gap within the
range
of correct gap to adjust the ignition timing.
4.
When the correct ignition timing is not ob-
tained even if the R/H point gap is varied within
the range of correct gap, a readjustment is re-
quired in conjunction with the
ignition
timing of
the
L/H cylinder.
When this is the case, proceed as follows:
1 l
Move the R/H
contact
breaker plate within
the range where the R/H point gap of 0.012
---0.016 in. l0.3,.....,0.4 mm) is maintained, and
tighten the plate lock screws. (reduce the point
gap if the ignition timing is advanced and
increase the gap if it is retarded.)
