Honda CB360 - Ignition Timing Adjustment

Ignition Timing
Check ignition timing upon completion
of the contact breaker point gap ad-
justment.
1. Turn the generator rotor coun-
terclockwise until the “LF” timing
mark on the rotor aligns with the
index mark @ on the generator stator
©.
If left cylinder ignition timing is cor-
rect, the left breaker points will just
ES
Generator rotor
Ф “І.Е” mark
Generator stator @ Index mark
begin to open as these marks align.
NOTE:
Static ignition timing may be checked
with a 12V-3W continuity light. When
connected as illustrated below, and the
main switch in the “ОМ” position, the light
will come on as the breaker points open.
Static timing is relatively accurate, but
for best results a stroboscopic timing light
should be used to check ignition timing in
both retarded and full advanced positions.
