• NOTE: As you face the open end of the generator, the points and condenser set on your right, control the
firing of the right cylinder. (See Figure 114.)
7. Rotate engine backwards by turning the rear wheel backwards until the right points close and test light
is on.
8. Now hold slight pressure on the timing bar and rotate the engine forward until the timing bar engages
the slot in the crankshaft. If the timing is correct, the test light will have just gone out at this point.
RIGHT CYLINDER TIMING ADJUSTMENT:
If the test light did not go out (timing is too slow or retarded) or went out before engagement of timing bar
(timing too fast or advanced) proceed as follows:
1. Remove air cleaner.
2. Loosen generator mounting clamp nut ("A", fig. 114)
3. Slightly loosen generator positioning screw ("B", fig. 114).
4. With the timing bar inserted into the crankshaft, rotate generator counter-clockwise to slow or retard the
timing or clockwise to advance the timing until the light has just gone out and retighten generator
position screw and clamp nut. Recheck timing by observing the light as the timing bar engages the slot
in the crankshaft. (It should just go out).
TO CHECK TIMING-LEFT CYLINDER:
1. Rotate engine by turning rear wheel until left piston is at top dead center as observed through spark plug
hole.
2. Connect one test light lead to left point condenser lead wire at the condenser. (The other test light lead is
grounded). The light is now off.
3. Rotate engine backwards by turning rear wheel backwards until the left points close and the test light is
on.
4. Now hold a slight pressure on the timing bar and rotate the engine forward until the timing bar engages
the slot in the crankshaft. If the timing is correct, the test light will have just gone out at this point.
LEFT CYLINDER TIMING ADJUSTMENT:
1. If the light did not go out (timing slow or retarded) or
if the light went out before engagement of the timing
bar (timing too fast or advanced) proceed as follows:
2. Loosen the 2 point timing plate screws ("A", fig. 116)
and, with the timing bar inserted into the
crankshaft, move the plate counter-clockwise (down)
to slow (retard) the timing or clockwise (up) to speed
up (advance) the timing until the light just goes out.
Retighten screws. Recheck timing by rotating the
engine and observing light as the timing bar
engages the slot in the crankshaft. (It should just go
out.)
